    which powder to begin with 62 BTSP

    I just used the link provided to buy A BUTT LOAD of Hornady 62grn BTSP's and would appreciate a suggestion on which of my powders to begin reloading with.
    Primary goal is for better accuracy as all my other 223 reloads have been for range fun only.
    I have new winchester and remington 223 brass, and my barrels are all of a 1:7 ROT. Have both Nitride and chrome lined barrels. Will need to be realistic in my accuracy goals as I only currently have standard Redding, RCBS and Lee dies in 223/556 and no bench rest type sizing or seating dies.

    223/556 suitable powders on hand:
    <>H-CFE223 (butt load)
    <>Ram Shot Tac (Med butt load)
    <>Alliant 2520
    <>H322
    <>IMR4166 (butt load)
    <>RL-7
    <>RL-10
    Forgot I also have 2lbs of:
    <>VV-N120 which I know is specifically for small calibers like the 223 and for short barrels like my 16" carbines.

    Have added aren't even going to try to find any other possibly well or better suited powders for reasons not needing to be explained. I know there are some other awesome powders for 223 like H335, IMR8208 and W748 but they either aren't available now or for the foreseeable future or at prices 2-2.5x normal. So I will use what I have on hand.
