So I have a Dillon 550 and have had problems with getting Varget to meter properly. I've been hearing good things about Ramshot TAC and RL15, but have no experience really with either of them. Taking my needs into consideration, what powder would you guys suggest? If you have had good experience with something other than the two mentioned above that I've researched, please feel free to pitch in. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here are my application needs for the powder:

- Use with semi auto 308 and 5.56 rifles (AR15 platform)
- Meter well with Dillon 550 press
- For 5.56, I use only two types of projectiles. 55gr FMJ (for training/ blasting) and 75gr BTHP (To simulate Hornday TAP loads), both are hornady. I may start using 62gr mil pull down for training purposes cause it's cheap, but for now those are the only two I use.
- For 308, I use only two tpes of projectiles. 147gr milsurp pull-down and 155gr AMAX (simulating Hornady TAP)

Ball powders are the best measuring powders, my Dillon PM's measure them exact;



CFE-223, Tac, H-335, AA-2230, BLC2, WW-748.



Short cut extruded, my Dillon PM's measure them + or - .1 gr;



IMR-8082 XBR, AR Comp, Re-15.



CFE-223 would be my first choice.
