According to your opinion what is the best powder to load the .50BMG and have execellant knockdown power with good accuracy.

What about loads for the 5.56 x 45 military cartridge.

    For the 223 - I have tried IMR3031 & Accurate 2230C - liked them both.

    Don't know if it is the best but I do know a few that like Hogdon 50BMG powder.

    H50BMG As the name implies, this new generation Extreme Extruded rifle propellant is a clean burning powder designed expressly for the 50 caliber BMG cartridge. Because it shares the same technology as VARGET, H50BMG displays a high degree of thermal stability in temperature extremes. Tests have conclusively proven that H50BMG yields very low extreme spreads in velocity and pressure. All this translates into small groups at extended ranges! Available in 1 lb. & 8 lb. containers
