As others have said save the IMR 4064 for your 30/06. It is a PIA to shake that stick powder in
that little 223 case. W 748 is my favorite power for the lighter bullets. Meters perfect. A fast twist
rate rifle can shoot the lighter weight bullets giving excellent accuracy. The 53 or 52 SMK and 26 grains
of W 748 shoots tiny groups with any twist barrel. Brass type and manufacture makes a big
difference in group size. I have never got LC brass to shoot as well as Winchester brass.
Rem 6 1/2 primers are not recommended for 223. It is for a lower psi calibers. I too recommend
the WFT trimmer. I load a lot of 55 FMJ for practice and plinking. Capable of minute of beer can.
