Just signed up.... first post...
I shot many a thousand rounds of 223 in HP competition and kept it simple. Used 69s, 77 mk, and 75 amax and used 24.5 grains of either Varget or RL15 regardless of bullet seated to mag length. On the 75s I was 15/1000 into the lands but that was for 600 yd and single round loading only. Rifle never liked 80s.
Can't go wrong with those powders.

.223 or 5.56NATO levels?
Hornady 68gr HPBT, 25.4gr CFE223 for 2800fps in the Service Rifle section. For plinking I use 24.6gr
You probably won't make the velocity per the Hodgdon data.
