Powder for 223 Rem with 55gr sierra FB spitzers

Post by Bcnr33v » 14 Oct 2026, 1:20 pm

I am about to reload some 223Rem with 55gr sierra spitzers (#1360). I am running a 20" 1 in 12 twist barrel.

I am tossing up between ADI BM2 or BM8208. Anyone have an experience?

My Tikka 223 goes good with 24.5 of 8208 and 55 gr pills.

Thanks. I spoke to Hogdon and Sierra tech overnight and both recommended to start with the BM8208
