Jun 19, 2022 · I have had success with IMR-4198 in 223 AR's, but the loads must be selective high end loads. Several years ago there was a magazine article with loads for AR's and how their sourced the data for each load. One load they had that was interesting was a 62 grain FMJ Hornady bullet with 21.0 grains of IMR-4198.

Sep 27, 2011 · I have been re-loading bullets for my AR-15 in .223 for 2 weeks now and am confused by the 14 bullet weights just on the chart for one powder manufacturer. I have been loading the 55 grain weight for target shooting and am interested in finding out what weight, and why, others use in the .223? I realize that the .223 is used in other platforms.
