    Thanks @Oldbloke,
    I had found those loads from John Barsness for the two Hornets and the .223 in an article in Handloader from 2014 but the wider scope of the campfire post will be useful. Since 2014 Hodgdon has tested both IMR4895 and H4895 (AR2206H) and found the latter gives better results and it is what I will be using anyway. Thinking back I did some reduced loads for my old .223 for shooting hares that my son used for a bit. They shot well enough but adjusting a non dial up type scope proved to be a pain. I likely used either AR2206 or IMR4227 but don't have the data any more. I think I used 45 grain projectiles. I still have my data for just about every rifle I have ever loaded for just not that one.
    Regards Grandpamac.
