I'm looking to get a .223 target rifle and start relolading for it.
I've actually already got a few boxes of Sierra 52gr HPBT MatchKings to load, but what's the best .223 powder in everyone's opinion?
Haven't decided on the rifle exactly yet so can't say what I'll be shooting exactly yet, just gathering what information I can on the reloading ahead of time.
Thanks all.

No surprise really...
Do two identical things side by side and people seem to think the 'new' one is always better for some reason

AR2206H replaces AR2206
11 July 2007
Propellant AR2206H is finally set to replace AR2206 on the Australian & New Zealand reloading market. AR2206H is an improved variation of AR2206, and is designed to optimise heavy projectile performance where it increases projectile velocity while at the same time reduces chamber pressures. It is suitable for use in a similar range of calibres and powder loads as AR2206.
