Accurate 1680 for .223

[Forester]

I have the option to get some Accurate 1680 to load .223

I have experience loading 9mm but .223 is a new adventure.

I would appreciate any input on people's opinions or experience with this powder.
Will be using 55 gr Bullets out of a 16" barrel.
Primary use is recreational target shooting.

Thanks

Just curious if there's is another powder you'd prefer to load with? I've got a real good selection of powders for that combo and have been looking for a pound or two of AA1680. If interested in a trade we could work something out maybe. I drive through Silverton regularly. P.S., how's Stu? I heard that hospice was brought in.

I'd save that for 300blk personally.

Wow!! What happened to Stu??

Advanced mastisized (wrong spelling?) prostrate cancer.

Personally I wouldn't use Accurate 1680 for 223 as it's not listed as a 223 powder by Accurate. A cheap reliable powder I've used for that combo is IMR4198, CFE223 and Winchester 748. There are others that are better to use but cost more.

Another old reliable powder that many do not think of using but has won more bench rest shooting championships than any other powder, H322.
It's my go-to powder for accuracy using 55g JMJ's or 55-60g ballistic tips.

Yes. Extremely underrated these days.

I use AA1680 and H4198 for reloading my 375 Winchester. I would trade for a pound of BL-C(2),which is great for 5.56 or .223.
