Looks like Federal, so I imagine it's good, but its also out of stock.....

Don't get too hung up on powder. If you have the 2250 and you have a load for it, use it and see how you like it. There are several different powder loads for 223, what you will see separate them are their FPS between the various powders using the same 55 grn. bullet. Just browsing around that benchmark gets around 3200 fps, the 4895 Grover was mentioning shows about 2800 fps. I believe it was titegroup (a very popular pistol powder) has a load that will produce subsonic speed, roughly 1040 fps. You just have to pick one, try it and if you are happy with accuracy in your gun, run with it. If it's not quite the accuracy you hoped for, try another powder.

Meh... I just filled out as if to order some of those CCI AR primers. Hazzard charge was going to be 27.50 plus 13.68 to ship. That would be 66.18 for a thousand primers
