Mostly using my 20VT and 223 these days. I'd go with N130 and Benchmark.

Interested to see how many of you responded CFE223. I have a couple jugs of it & would like to put it to use in 20TAC & 20-223AI with 40 gr bullets. Any suggestions?
I am in the area of 26.5 with the 32 grain bullet. You might begin below that and work up. In either of those calibers. Bill K

What do you use 2200 mostly for? I've never used it.

In 221FB or 223, AA2200 is (almost the same burn rate as RL7) great in 40gr bullets.

6mm small case (223 based to 6BR) to 20 cal, light bullets works well. Don't have a 17 (yet) probably use it there as well.

6BR 55 to 58g best velocity powder.
6TCU 55-65g
6x45 same
223AI 40's
20P 32-34's.

Since I can have as many powders as I like, and I have the room for it, I see absolutely no benefit in cutting back to two. Could I make it work, sure but then why do i need 30 different cartridges/calibers when two would work there too.

But to be a good sport and play along, for varmint calibers I would keep Lil'Gun and 8208. Lil'Gun covers 17 HH, 221 FB, 22 Hornet, 218 Bee and 8208 covers 17 FB, 204, 223, 22-250 and a lot of the 6 mm family. 8208 produces great accuracy, low SD and top velocities in all those rounds, right up to the 6 PPC, but speed starts to peter out in the larger 6MMs or real heavy bullet 6MMs where slightly slower powders start to shine.
