I use RE-15 for both in competition, very accurate.

I've not tried 8208 or CFE (though I've heard good things about both), but I know from personal experience that TAC will work great with both 55gr and 77gr rounds.

XBR is good for the 55s but great for the 77s

I have used IMR 4895 for 55gr up to 60gr with great results.
IMR has load data fro 77gr bullets listed on their website, I have just never loaded bullets that heavy with it. |

I use XBR exclusively for my AR now. Meters great and has been pretty consistent in all the weather so far. I am going to try it as much as I can this winter to see if it stays consistent. |

Hodgdon H322 is a very versatile powder. I use it for 55gr-77gr 5.56 and 110gr 6.8 SPC. Good luck finding any H322 though.

I use WC844 for all my 223 loads
 I've found some loads for the heavier loads, and I've done 75gr projectiles with it with pretty good results. Not saying its the best, but it can be done with cheaper powder effectively. ~1.5 inches in a 10 round group at 100 yards. Hey, it works...

I have recently become an XBR believer also. Too bad it is Australian sourced. I was hoping it was from a stateside vendor like GD at St Marks. |

I use H4895. It is really just a long grain 8208XBR. Works great for bullets all the way down to 40g.

All of the above or whatever you can find these days. ;)
I like CFE, Varget, 3031, H335 and 1200-R (not for 77's) I got some 77 seconds from Graf's that were amazing with CFE223. The 1200-R was best with my 55gr Hornady SP's but only in a 1-9 barrel. My 1-8 barrel didn't like 55's much. |

Tac, varget and h335 i know all personally work and figure the rest will in some acceptable fashion as well. Dont know about you, but im still having issues finding powder, so i take what i can get.... |
