Default Looking for a new powder & load for my 223?

I own a Savage Model 12-fv chambered in 223-Remington. This is the load I worked up:
Fed small rifle primer
52-grain HPBT Sierra MatchKing bullet
27.5-grains of Varget.
This rifle shoots this load very well. Over time I have grown to hate Varget powder. Varget is a pain for me to throw.
I am looking for a good spherical or ball powder to try in my 223. Does anyone have any loads they would like to share?
I will list a few powders I know I have, if it helps?
H-335,
H-380
H-BL-C (2)
Reloader-10
Accurate 2230

Diaclaimer: I never start my loads at or near maximum. I always work my way up & check for signs of pressure.

Thanks,

Wolf Killer
