    Loading 223 with a Dillon 650

    Good evening Folks
    I have been reloading for awhile and have a Dillon 650 that I would like to start loading 223 for the new AR's I recently aquired. I have the conversion head and the dies, Dillon, What I would like to know is what you all are using for the powder measure. I have heard that the stick powder does not meter well through the dillon. Also, what powder you are using for consistant loads.
    Thanks

            Currently it is Varget or Win748 due to the fact that's what I have plenty of right now.

                I use a2230 and it works great. best .39 cents you can spend is to go to ace hardware and find a flourette(sp?) nob for your powder adjustment.

                  I run varget, h335 and tac for my 223. You can also refer to my reload vids below for the 650 themy might help out a bit.

                    H-322 is currently in my 650. Consistently puts out 23.1gr behind a 55gr FMJ. I'm happy so far. Next, I'll try WCC-846 for some 308 plinking loads. Hope it meters well.

                        very good info. if you were dead set on the other shaped powders, dillon makes a powder die conversion so you can use another powder measure...
