The place has several powders but not what I've used before. Could someone list powders for .223/5.56 with standard small rifle primers? I'm using 55grain pulls...
Away from my manuals right now...

Too late... I ended up with 2 lbs Alliant Reloader 10x
OK...
Anyone have a 55 grain 5.56x45 load using 55 grain fmj flat base, Remington 6½ primers and Reloader 10x powder
No and ............................. oh GOD you didn't get Remington primers and Allian 10!!!!!!
But Seriously, it should be ok but there's better powder out there. 23 grs. is listed on their web site. I've linked the reloading data below.

I personally would of preferred a Hogdon or Accurate powder. http://data.hodgdon.com/cartridge_load.asp
You buy what you can get these days. Sounds like the Remington 6½ are more of a possible problem. Several warn of using them in AR loads, nobody mentions AK and other military rifles and others laugh it off and say keep with reasonable pressures and you are fine...
Sounds like I start at 21.0 grains and work to 23.0 grains and I'll be OK...
Now for some loads in .308, 7.62x54, .303....
~Nemo me impune lacessit~
I can't find a load specific to Remington 6½ (or 7½) primers and Reloader 10x... The best I can determine is that the 6½ is close to the CCI 400...
With that powder, nope not if I understand it correctly. That's powder for light small caliber projectiles; 22-250 and .223 62 gr. or less. You need the 15 if they have it to do those 30 cal. bullets.Originally Posted by El Laton Caliente
On Remington primers I have used 7 1/2 benchrest primers a lot with 69 gr. Sierra MK bullets. I have had primers blow out at the firing pin impact point, makes a pinhole in the primer cup once the pressures start to get a little high. That is with Varget which is slower and lower pressure than your Reloader 10 powder. It doesn't blow your gun up the first time but if it happens a lot you will end up gas cutting your bolt face or erroding your firing pin. If you get this back off .5 grains.
The descriptioin taken from the web site. Light bullet to me means 100 to 125 gr. range for bullet weight. If you're talking 150 gr. and up, like I said step up th R15.Smokeless small bore rifle powder
Best choice for light bullet applications in .222 Rem, .223 Rem .22-250 Rem and key bench rest calibers. Also great in light bullet .308 Win loads.
•Excellent for bench rest cartridges
•Great in 223 and 22-250 with light bullets
•Optimum velocity in small cal varmint loads

Remington 7 1/2 primers are Mil-Spec. Remington uses them in all of their 5.56 military ammo.
H335 is pretty much the standard powder (Hodgden's CFE is supposed to the cat's meow but I haven't tried it yet)
I load MilSurp cases, Rem 7 1/2 primers, Remington 55 Grain FMJ (M193 ball bullet) and H335.
Been using that combo for 30 years with no complaints
