Reload 223/5.56?

Please re-read my post: An important point passed over in the earlier posts. If you want to reload safely, you need a powder the flows easily.
I did not say the 'most' important point. I was referring to what had not been addressed.
End of rant!

Okay, and I'd still disagree. No need to get bent about it.
Except for H110, all of the powders I use are "difficult to meter". Unique, IMR 4198, 3031, 4895, etc.
its the attention to detail that keeps this hobby from blowing up in our faces.

That is a very qualified statement based on how the powder is measured.... I'm not against ball powders, but I don't see them represented at any state or above matches. I've never seen a precision match won with ball, the new prs style may be challenging that trend, because of good enough accuracy requirements.

Having an endless supply of free brass at work makes loading .223 practical for me. Cost savings isn’t great with 55 grain but enough to make it worthwhile. 77g is more of a savings and I can make a mil spec chrome lined barrel sing.

Here is a league target shot at 100yards with a Savage 223. The very top target is a cold bore shot.
