Not familiar with the anschuetz but I have a Savage .223 bolt action with a 1-9 twist.

I have shot mainly 55gr projectiles, Hornady FMJ, Hornady SP and Midway Dogtown SP. Of these I have had best accuracy at 100 yards with the following loads:

24.0gr Varget
20.5hr H322

The 20.5gr H322 is light but it shoots really good at 100 yards in my rifle, better than any of the other H322 loads I tried in 0.5gr increments up to 23.0 gr.

If I had to pick just one powder I would go with the Varget though. It shoots more consistent, perhaps because the 24.0gr fills more of the case.
