Powder for a progressive loading 223 ?

HTDUCK · Feb 2, 2015

Recently bought a Dillon 650 to load 223 ammo to feed my ARs.
Have been using Benchmark and it meters beautifully through the Dillon powder measure.
Supplier is out of Benchmark and I'm down to a couple of pounds.

Currently they have H335 , AR Comp and MR2000 in stock.
Anyone have any experience using these 3 in a progressive loader ?
Which one would meter the best ?
Or anyone got a better suggestion ?
For what it's worth, I'm loading 75 gr bullets.

Thanks in advance,
Howard

I've never used anything but flake or ball powder in my Dillons so I can't help you out much.

Of those three I have only used H335, and loading manually at that...but I'll testify that H335 meters very nicely, and probably even better than Benchmark. I use a UniFlow.

I use W748 and H335 in my Dillon. They flow flawless! AR Comp on the other hand gave me fits due to the powder bridging in the powder die.

335 and TAC have been the smoothest for me.

Thanks guys.

Guess I'll get some H335 and give it a whirl.
WC 844 is pretty much the same animal but at present it's about the same price as my wholesale cost forH335.
