Rickyd Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 I’m toying with the idea of reloading. With so many different options I’m a bit confused. I’m planning on loading 52g eld match for my .223 what powder would be best to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durham Shooter Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 I would suggest finding which powders are available near you, lots of shortages everywhere, consult a reloading manual, I prefer Hornady although others are available. It may be prudent to attend a reloading course (NRA or other) these courses are subject to much discussion on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Durham Shooter says above, maybe think about attending a reloading course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoppe Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I have 2 .223 rifles. I use n133 for 55grain blitz kings in 1 rifle. The other rifle I use n140 for 77 grain match kings or heavier bullets Both rifles / powders give excellent results. Both loads are in the high 24 grain range.
