Hi guys,

What's a good powder to try with 40-55gr bullets? Picked up some Nosler Varmageddon, Hornady 50 & 55gr V-Max. Rifle is a Weatherby Vanguard S1.
 
Great, thanks guys. Got Benchmark, CFE223 and 8208 XBR. Will give them a try.
 
Here's a 50
Code:
Cartridge          : .223 Rem.
Bullet             : .224, 50, Nosler BalTip 39522
Useable Case Capaci: 25.923 grain H2O = 1.683 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.260 inch = 57.40 mm
Barrel Length      : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 61000 psi, or 420 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 61000 psi, or 420 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

71 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 85%. These powders have been skipped.

Win 748 has always worked well for me for both speed over the Chrono and accuracy at the target which usually was PD or ground squirrels.

I mostly use Hornady 55gr SX bullets but also 40gr Noslers in my T/C 223 Pistol.
I use mag primers and 28.5-29gr &48 in Factory or mil brass with the 55gr bullet
 
I just put together some 55 grain BTs in front of some Varmint powder. Waiting for a break in the weather to do some shooting.

Great, thanks guys. Got Benchmark, CFE223 and 8208 XBR. Will give them a try.
I think you will find CFE-223 and 8208-XBR a little on the slow side for the 40 gr bullets, if you want top velocity. Benchmark will probably work better for the light bullets. They should all provide very good performance with the 50 and 55 gr projectiles. My favorite for those weights is Ramshot Tac, which finally is starting to become available again after bring very scarce the past several years.
 
Never have gotten around to CFE223, but Benchmark and IMR 8208 are fantastic for 50-55 grain bullets. If the CFE is anything like the other two you'll have a dilemma on your hands!
