LGS just got some rifle powders in. I have about half a pound of 4198 that I bought when it showed up. I have been happy with the results so far. The had some 4320, 8208, Varget and 4895 as well as more 4198.

Not sure what they will have left tomorrow, but would like opinions on what would be my best purchase for another pound or two.

One thing I like about the 4198 is economy. It is the cheapest of the batch, and uses considerably less powder than the others. All totaled, it makes a noticeable difference in the cost of powder for the .223. Having said that, if there are real advantages to some of the other powders, I would be willing to spend a little more.

FWIW, I am mostly punching holes in paper at distances not over 100 yds. I am using 55 gr SP Hornady bullets.
