What .223 powder are you finding these days?

[Robb]

Winter is coming and I need to re-supply my reloading stash. I can't find much Varget, or not easily anyway.
I've only used Varget for the past 3 years for some reason, good on-line reviews I guess, but it's time to change to something I can find a little easier. I also use a 550b so although I feel I've got Varget figured out, I could always go with something that meters better. I reload cheap 55gr fmj practice ammo, nothing heavier at this point and rarely shoot past 200yards. So can any specific powder always be found local, and what's your favorite powder?

BL-C2 or Surplus 846 is what I have been using for plinking and it works fine.

Blatant, selfish plug: H380 is what Hodgdon used to promote for .223, and I happen to have 2 lbs for sale... With that being said, there was some good powder on Craigslist just a short while ago.

Good metering? TAC, 2230 or x-terminator. They pour like water out of dillon powder setups, without any of the polish, fluff n buff, treatments some loaders do. CFE223 has decent feedback, too

2230, 2460, WC846, 844. Currently loading WC 844 for 55gr and 2460 for 62-69's. When the 844 runs out it will be 2460 for both my .223 and .308 loads. All meter great on my pro-auto disk.

FYI there's 4 pounds of 2460 at the shop in Brighton for $23/pound as of yesterday.

I scored 16 lbs of Tac form Powder Valley on Tuesday on 1 lb containers. First time I've seen it this year.

I'd like to give TAC, H-335 2230 and/or BLC2 a try and see if I like it better than Varget. For the shooting I do it would be fine.

After you try any of the powders listed above you will not go back to an extruded powder for plinking rounds.
