...I've never had the luck that some guys do with the V-Max's..In my guns it's a waste of good powder to try & getem to shoot...Nosler or Bergers are the only way to fly...I've shot holes with 40's thru 69"s in all my factory .223's Benchmark is my powder of choice for 90% of my shooting...Now VV-133 & 52gr Bergers, Varget & 69gr Sie's is the real deal... ;)

...69's @ 100...

1Shot that is some amazing shooting brother....what is the twist rate on your barrel....the one group looks like one shot dang. My barrel is a 1-12 Ill def order a different twist in Critereon when the funds allow

If you do volume shooting in the 223 or 223 sized or based calibers, there's quite a bit of milsurp WC844 floating around at $85.00/8 lbs, very similar to H335.

...All my .223's are Savage 1-9 tw's... Your 1-12 should bug hole 40's thru 55's with the right powder & seating depth...My little 1-14 tw .221 Fireball will drill 40's & 50's..lol...With Benchmark
