So what powder are you using .223 these days?

Okay, report back from the range, with 23 gr of Benchmark and 55 gr Hornady hp bullets, I could hit 10 rounds under 2" at 50 yards. So I am going to stay with 23 gr and try it at 100 yards this weekend.

2 inches at 50 yards is only 4moa. Is the poor group you or the ammo?

Certainly Rifleman standard with mil-surp ammo but not what reloads should be doing....

Under 2", more like 1.5" I was zeroing my scope, finally got it and I only had 20 rounds left to test.
