    HB, was your distance 100 yards? I didn't see that in the post.

    Also, are you using stock trigger and is your rifle freefloated?

    HB, nice science fair writeup

    On a more serious note, if you didn't see any difference in accuracy, go with the lower end of the powder charge. Or, if your auto-dropper measurements were slightly less accurate than the hand weighed, decide if you really want to weigh each charge for 55gr 223 plinker rounds.

    I ran a similar test with my 223, IMR-4895 (all I could find locally), and Xtreme 55gr FMJ's. Started at 18 up to 24.5, and 22 ended up being the sweet spot. Went back and ran up and down in .1gr increments, 22.0 was the most accurate of those and I can easily drop those from my powder dropper, so that is what won out.

    Howdy fellers.

    I've only had 6 cigarettes so far today, and that's really good for me. Prolly have 1 or 2 more before bed, but under 10 in roughly 18 hours would be outstanding for me. I'm proud of that, and I'll try for less tomorrow and on down that road.
