    BM2 or CFE223 both work on a fairly full case.

    I am happy with BMII
    Works with bullets 50-75 grn in my 223 barrel. Couldnt get the same performance from other powders I tried for some reason.

    Hmmm interesting, wonder if the BMII will work well with a 74gr pill from my .22-243 or perhaps H4895

    Isn't H4895 just ADI 2206H rebranded and more expensive.

    Yep, 2208 is good in long barrels my NRA Fullbore rifle with a 28" and Sierra 80 gr Match kings is dynamite at 1000 yards Winchester 748 is good for velocity but not accuracy
    in my rifle, worth trying if you have some.
