I prefer Hodgdon H322 for 222 and 223 reloading. It meters fairly easy and is bulky enough to help take up space in the case.
A lot of people like H335 and BL-C(2) for 223.
Go to Hodgdon's online data page for some good starting info.

25 grains of W748 for 55 grn bullets works well for me.

24-25 grains of Varget works great for me.

I've used 25 grains of H4895 with a 55 grain Nosler BT since 1996 with excellent accuracy and no complaints from the intended target

After much experimentation, 26 grains of W748. About the only other powder I am even curious to try out in the 223 is IMR4895.
