Anyone using WW748 in the .222 or .223?
I am branching out since some powders are difficult to get while others are on the shelf.
I'm using CFE223 in the .222 Rem & H335 in the .223. I went in to get another can of CFE223 & there was none on the shelves. There was about 4 cans of WW748, it's in the proper burning rate for both ctgs. so I bought a can of it. I'm going to work up loads with 748 in both the .222 Rem. & .223 so if one powder is unavailable & the other is I can at least shoot.
I'm not really after specific loads, but how you like it & how well does it perform, if you've chronographer your loads I'd be interested in that. The Sierra & Hornaday manuals have it as one of the powders giving the highest velocities. I'm more interested in accuracy than the last fps we can squeeze out of a ctg. Being a sperical powder I'm sure it'll measure well. I'd appreciate hearing from those who have used it in either of those two ctgs.
Thanks.

Yup...it's my favorite and only powder I use in the 223/556. I love ball powder in the 223, burns clean and efficient and I get good groups with just about every bullet I put in front of it in the 223 in both bolt and semi-auto rifles. Oh and it meters so well my powder thrower is usually within a 1/10 every throw...
