Best Metering Powder for 7.62 x 39?

[Minnesota1]

I have a Lyman Ideal powder measure #55 and am going to load up some 7.62x39's with a 123 gr soft point. I do not want to have to spend hours on the bench measuring and trickling kernels to make my load. Could anyone give me their favorite powder and load for their best metering powder for this caliber?

Thanks,

Bob

The powder is AA1680. Developed for that cartridge. Accurate says 23-25.5 grains.

It is a ball propellant so it will meter well.

I have used this powder for an SKS and loaded a middle load of around 24 grains and it worked well.

I agree with pbslinger. Use 1680.
