Reloading Assistant is a free app that I use a lot, it is a compilation of different sources. Can't get a good screenshot for all the data, but, as I said, it is a free app, and here are the powders it lists for 70 grain:

Hornady manual #10 has data for a 70gr with both CFE223 and BL-C2 listed under the 5.56 NATO, Not the 223Rem or Service Rifle.
I have used some BL-C2 with a 69gr and it showed promise but I did not load many of those. I also use a lot of TAC, Benchmark and now A2460 with a 69gr bullet.

296 isn't an appropriate powder for 223.
BL-C2 can work.
When that bullet first came out Nosler said to use 69 gr data. None of my 5.56s liked it. But my 22-250 fast twist runs half MOA at 400 with them. Where did you come across them? I've been searching for them for 2 years.

Don't ever order anything from OpticsPlanet.
I will go with out before I order anything from them. I don't know how they stay in business.

Yeah, I noticed OpticsPlanet loves selling stuff they don't actually have.
