Hi guys
I'm going from a 23 inch barrel, to a 19 inch.
Was using 2208, but I suspect I'll need a faster burning powder, with the shorter barrel.
So BM2, or 2206h ?
Is there anywhere I can buy a smaller quantity for testing loads ? ( rather than a complete tin )
Cheers
If it helps I use BM2 with the 55grn Hornady for 3150fps from my 20"Quote:

Using 2207 in my 223.
Either powder, you'll get good results from both.
I've used both BM2 and 2206h in my 16" Ar15 and Baikal single shot.
Both worked well, but BM2 has the slight edge for me in that it produces slightly better groups.

Yip bm2
for me BM2 for accuracy, Belmont Action rifle for price. Both in 16"
BM2.
Win 748
Yeh, about 27-28grs of W748 for a 55 "..but start lower and work up.. "
It flows beautifully through a thrower
748 and BM1 both flow nicely and throw well,2206 is great powder and goes well in .223
take your pick and go load up and enjoy shooting...dont get all hung up on last fps......it really not that big of deal if its 3000fps or 3150fps at sub 200 yards the goat/deer/rabbit/wallaby/pig etc etc etc wont know the difference if you put projectile in right place.
BM2
oops yes meant BM2.....its the oldtimers starting to set in...craft syndrome comes next.
BM2 in my 20 inch Mod 7 223 just under 3100fps and accurate enough.
