Playing with stability calculators the 69 smk is stable, and the 70 grain Berger vld and nosler rdf are stable in all but the coldest conditions. Stability doesn’t always mean accuracy tho. But I’m going to start there. Luckily 223 bullets are cheap. :chuckle:
Is h335 ball powder? Very fine granules?

Its a very thin flat round shaped powder.
Your running a longer barrel think mine is 24 and 20 that have the 1:9 so 26 might be helping you there. I have tried to get mine to multiple times and just don't have the luck with the 9. I have shot probably 500+ in my life with the smk and my go to 223 bullet. I load about 1000 rounds of it a year goo stuff.

Varget here..

I like using Hodgdon Extreme powders when applicable so for that range of bullet weight in a 223, H4895 & H322, would be my first two choices and Varget would be my third. You'll get a little more velocity from H4895 and H322 than you will from Varget, but all three are good powders.

I like h4895 aswell
