IMR3031 in .223 REM with 53 Grain Bullets

[HBAR-156mm]

Looking for a good powder for a 223 26" slow twist barrel and 52 to 53 grain bullets. Looks like IMR 3031 will give a high speed out of the muzzle. Any one using it?

IMR 4064 and H380 for me. all you can do is try it. it shot great in my old rem 660 Mohawk w/ 150 cor-lokts.

I found good accuracy with 22gn of 3031 under the 55gn hpbt. But, if you're looking for velocity, I may recommend CFE223.
Honestly, there are so many powders that shoot well in the 223 it's hard to make a bad choice. Over the years I've used Benchmark, H335, Varget, CFE223, 3031, 8081XBR and RL15 with good results.
