Just got this in an e-Mail from Graf and Sons: Shooter World Match Rifle Powder 1 lb canisters @ $24.39 a pound. Not tried any before, but at this price I might give it a go......

Match Rifle is double base power made by Lovex in the Czech Republic, burning rate similar to AA2520, RL15 and VV N140. Looks like it might be good for 68 grain bullets and above in 223/5.56. They do list 5.56mm data for Match Rifle on Page 37

Johnny's Reloading Bench tested that powder in his MK262 clone series where it did quite well with the Sierra 77 Match King w/ Cannelure.

In fairness, you have to work pretty hard to mess up a 77gr SMK.

Or $235.99 (+ hazmat, tax and whatever other shipping shit) for an 8lb jug of TAC...

Screw that AND all the bastards non stop printing US dollars making the ones already out there worth LESS and LESS every day. I pray a flesh rotting pox be upon them AND that the fleas of a thousand camels infest all of their homes.
