It'll be nice to buy one powder for bothI've had very good accuracy success using Varget. I've been loading with it for more than ten years.
ETA: And it meters great also!
Lots of powders can fill that role. According to my references you can use: H4895, Varget, RE-15, VV N140, VV N135, AA 2520, WW 748, VV N540, VV N550, and maybe more. There are at least a couple of those that I wouldn't use because I feel sure I'd find something that worked well enough before I got around to them.what powder is recommended for heavy 223 rounds loaded to shoot out to 600yds?
If you've already standardized on Varget for your .308, use it for your .223. I think the odds are much better than even that you'll find loads that will work just fine.It'll be nice to buy one powder for both
I can get this local which makes me think about using itI use CFE223. Kinda temp sensitive, but it meters beyond exceptionally well. 69g Sierra Match Kings are tha bomb(heh).
I wonder how many millions of times someone has been able to say that, for a huge variety of cartridge/bullet/rifle combinations.I found H-4895 to be a better performer in my rifle.

A line from a favorite reference of mine is:W748 works pretty good on 50g bullets, but never tried it with the heavy bullets.
...try some WW748. ...if your AR-15 won't shoot tight 300 rapids off a Sierra 69 with 25.5 grains of that stuff then, son, you have a gun problem.
