What powder do you use for Hornady 55gr V-Max? Started reloading for rifle (RRA AR). Most all of my shooting is paper at 100 yds. I tried H335, and it was less than impressive with this bullet. H335 did work very well for other FB 55gr'ers (.69" 5 shot group), but not for the V-Max.

I've read for this bullet at 100 yds, Benchmark and TAC are good powders. H322? Others?

EDIT: Forgot to note this is for .223
