Someone I talked to said to try H335 the other day, so I'll explore that route. My barrel is an old pencil barrel SAK I bought in 1991. I don't believe it's marked as far as caliber goes, so I'm not sure, but suspect it's military surplus. I was getting past peak accuracy and the primers were starting to get flat at 3050 fps. so I think I need a slower powder than 2230.

When I worked up the load I used Winchester .223 brass. I have once fired malaysian 5.56 brass, but haven't loaded any of it. I'd prefer to use the Winchester if possible.

Thank you both for your responses.
