Good morning,I recived some loose 223 ammo that looks to be winchester varmint x ammunition. Rounds have light primmer strikes and look to have been chewed on. I took them apart to used the bass. Before i did i took COAL and weight of charge for 10 rounds. I was very surprised by the wide range of numbers. Any one know what kind of powder Winchester uses for these rounds?

Looks like cfe223 or w748. ETA that's a charge weight that makes sense for 748. Right in the middle of the data.
