What do you guys suggest on powders? The formulas show very different amounts for the powders in .223 remington. Does it really matter what I go with, I mean, it's for economical purposes, so going with the recipe that requires the least amount of powder would save me some $$$, but I don't want that if it doesn't ignite as well or something.

I've heard that you should use high-volume of powder recipes for magnum handgun rounds because they fill the cartidge more fully and ignite better. Is this also the case on rifle rounds?

Thanks!
I am at work until next friday, so i don't have access to my stuff. But you have to be carefull which power you use, some will not cycle the action on the ar's. I found this out after I loaded about 500 rounds. None of them would cycle the action enough to pick up the new round. I switched powders and it worked great. I will look when I get back home and post on here which powders work and which don't. I think the fast burning powders don't work, but I might have it backwards.
