Powder suggestion(s) for M855?

[Surgio]

I have run out of BL-C(2) powder for my 62g 'M855' loads and it isn't too easy to find. I do, however, have a lot of IMR 4895, W748 and some Varget.
I am using new, commercially-sold projectiles in once-fired mil LC brass with CCI #450 primers. Mostly for 1:7 16" AR.

Anybody have a suggestion on what I might use instead from what I have on hand? Much appreciated

Given the powder choices,I would use w748,save the Imr4895 and Varget for bullets 69gr and heavier

748, H335, AA2230, AA2520, Ramshot TAC, ..... Tons of powders to choose from.

I'd save that BL-C for fifty-five grain bullets in .223.

Under 200 yards I doubt you will see any difference between a 55 grain bullet and a 62 grain bullet from
a 1:7 twist 20inch barrel. W748 is a little bit more expensive but well suited for 62 grainers.

748 is your winner.
It's better than the BL-C2.

Thanks for the suggestions gents.

748 is my favorite for 16". H335 is good too. I save Varget for precision .308 rounds but if you have plenty of it, it works just fine in 5.56 55g bullets too.

These 100 yard groups are with PMC brass and the cheapest 55g fmjbt bullets I can find (either 223bulkbullets or Xtreme bullets, both work well).
