just a quick question.

i scanned through my hornady manual looking for an idea on a commonly recommended powder for light .223 loads, and IMR 4198 was all over the place.

bought a couple pounds of it to have around, and decided that i would load some Speer TNT 50gr. HP rounds.

now, Hornady lists it for their bullets up to the 60's, whereas Speer no longer lists it after the 45gr bullets.

anybody load this combo?

just curious if i am going to have to use more of my Varget. hate to, as i use it for the bigger rounds, as well as for my .308
