I was going to get Hodgdon H335 for the .223 for my AR's and Mini-14 but I have an Howa .22-250 and I was going to use the same primers and bullets. The other powder I was going to get for the .22-250 was the Hodgdon H380 but if I can use just one kind would be nice, thanks for the help.
A few powders can be used for both, the 22-250 and .223 I use Benchmark for my 22-250 and my shooting buddy uses the same powder for his .223. Varget can be used on both calibers as well. Get a Lyman reloading book and cross referance the powders. I also use Benchmark for my 30.06. I have several reloading books and I use the Lyman and Hodgdon books the most. Happy Reloading.
