Just an addition to my original answer, a friend just bought some of that new Hodgdon CFE223 powder and loaded up some AR ammo. Well let me tell you I was very impressed. Not only is that powder as clean as advertised it also delivered superior accuracy and velocity than most anything else I've ever tried. Sorry I can't tell you what the charge weight is because I forgot what he said but I do know it was used with a 55gr bullet.
I will be buying some soon and doing some tests of my own. I have had good success with H335 or WC844 in my AR ammo and with Varget, W748 and H4895 for bolt action rifle ammo but if all works out like I think it will I just might be switching over to CFE223 for both, soon...
