Has anyone used Benchmark in their 223? What kind of accuracy did you get at lower loads? I am going to start working up loads with some 60 grainers. I have not found a large number of loads using Benchmark.

I shoot 22.5 grains of benchmark with 60 grain Nosler partitions. It has always been a great shooting load for me.

A 50-grain V-Max over 26.5 grains of Benchmark works well for me.

Benchmark is certainly in my top 5 favorite powders for 223 with Bullets weighing under 65gr.
N133 is tops.
