223 vs 556

[kdlong]

probably. What powder are you using? TAC is pretty popular for AR's and Varget / Benchmark are pretty hard to beat in a bolt gun

i'm using hodgen h414 in the 22-250.i also have some reloader 19,h4350,imr3
3031,imr4227,and some win296.
ok heres what i load for now.22-250,30-30,25-06,30-06,30 carbine,44mag pistol,and 303 british
22-250 40gr ballistic tip h414
25-06 100gr soft point and ballistic tip h4350
30 carbine 90gr round nose i'll have to look on this one it's been awhile
30-30 170gr rnd imr3031
30-06 150gr spire point imr4227
303 150gr sp imr3031
44mag 240gr jhp using win296
i would like to be able to go to maybe a couple of powders for all except the pistols. i'm fixing to load 45acp and 223 also

Check the Hodgdon powder website. They do list a load for IMR 3031 under 55gr bullets.

I have used H335 and BLC-2 in .223 and both do well.

Benchmark works well with about any 55 grain bullet in all three of my
bolt guns. It meters very well. BLC2 is another good one with
55 grains bullets. Some say it's temp sensitive but I've never
had a problem with it.
