In the next couple of weeks I'll be making up a some .223 loads for target and varmit shooting. Typically use Speer 50 gr. TNT-HP and 52 gr Match BT-HP. In the past I've used 3031. Had good results but was never impressed with the way it metered.
Shooting buddy recommended I try 748. Ballistics look good from the data. My question how does it meter and does anyone have any comments about 748 in .223 loads either pro or con?
As always thanks in advance for the response.
