I have a quick question...........I have been reloading many, many years. Started with TC back in 77. Retired and came here to Georgia, Got into shooting Black Powder 45-70 45 Colt etc. Sold all my TC and picked up the big banggers. Now I'm back with the G-2 TC (.223 14") I have a lot of H-4198 so I reloaded them with 21 gr and 55 gr bullets.(it shoots very good) I also got some .223 off the shelf and fired today. The first round, I went back in time. (fire came out of the barrel) That is the way I reloaded a few years back. "JUST FOR GIGGLES"....I want to reload that again. I can not think of the powders I had before that "fire" would come out the front. Anyone as numb headed as I and can give me a powder that is safe but has a lot of fire power. Thanks for your time

I like BlueDot I can even see it when I am shooting, best at the indoor range or in the late evening outdoor, I think most shot gun powders appropriate for the 223 would work, or the slower burning rifle powders
