I have used it, still have part of a lb left. Nothing wrong with it, just like TAC better (cheaper)

I have used a lot of 2230. It was designed to be a .223 powder, hence the name. Very good accuracy and velocity with 50-55 grain bullets. I started using it because it was cheaper that the competition, but have moved on to TAC because it is cheaper still and cleaner.

Accurate Arms 2230 is designed for the .223 and .308. Almost "any" load will work. Depends on what "your" rifle likes. Start low and work your way up.
Over the years I've gone through about 30 pounds.
Accurate Arms 2230C was almost the same as AA2230 and I went through about 40 pounds before "it" was discontinued. AA2230 is still my "go to" powder as well as the AA2460. Both works well in my .221Fireball,.223, .308, 22BR, 6BR and now my 6.8 SPC. You might say I "love" the Accurate Arms Powders. YMMV ;)
