I've been loading them with Hodgdon BL(C)-2 with good results. never tried anything else in them, figured if it wasn't broke I wasn't gonna try to fix it. I'm sure they are lots of better ones.

I have used IMR4895 for the past two years of loading 223. Good loads and function on with 55-65g bullets. Case full to the base of the neck at around 24g I recently bought my first 2 lbs of Varget to try, along with another 4lb jug of IMR4895. I'm in no hurry to switch and don't expect to try the Varget later in the Spring.
