I am new to reloading the .223. I will be using the ammo in a Bushmaster AR for plinking and target practice to 100 yds. I plan to use 55 gr FMJ bullets. What is a good powder and charge to use for this load? I have heard Win 748 has temperature problems. I am in the sunny south and there are days in the 90's that I will be shooting. Your input is appreciated!
