Damn, I was afraid of that. Fitting cylindrical in the neck of a 223 is going to cause problems for mass production on my Dillon press I bet, and the velocity was great for 223 with a 55 grain bullet. Know of a good ball powder that will get me to 3350 with 55 grain bullet?

Check out Ramshot X-Terminator. It is a very fine ball powder.
Ramshot's data has 55gr Sierra at 3312fps with X-T.

I use VV N133

BL-C2 is similar in burn rate.
