All I shoot these days in the 223 is that 40 grain Ballistic Tip, and I load it to whatever the Lyman 49th says (which I can't remember at this moment) and get best accuracy. And for what it's worth, my best load is 27.3 gr of H335 Powder and CCI BR4 primers. If you want to try that load, do work up to it, since in my rifle that's a warm load.
