Favorite powder for 50 to 55 grain v-max bullets in AR?

I like the AR Comp powder for the heavy weight bullets, used to use RL15 and just recently switched. The AR Comp is a replacement for RL15!

W748, H322, H335, BL-C(2), and Benchmark. No order of preference but I get good results with my AR's and bolt guns with Benchmark, H322, and BL-C(2).
 
Accurate 2460 and Benchmark for 50g Vmax, equal accuracy results but the Benchmark seems cleaner IME. $8 more per pound for Benchmark
 
27.5 gr BLC2 for either 50 or 55 in my Dillion 550B. That load works great for my 50 gr Vmax Pdog loads and my 55 FMJ for my carbine. Also meters very well in a dillin powder dump.
I use H4895 for my heavies in a 223, but don't load them on a progressive.
 
N133 is my go to powder and the 50 grain vmax is my go to bullet.
26 grains in a lake city case and a wolf primer gets me close to 3500 out of a 24 inch barrel and right around 3300 in my 20 inch AR.
 
I use H335 for 50-55gr
Once you set your powder dropper with it you don't have to weigh again! The fine spherical powder drops consistently.
It's good for mass producing rounds quickly.



Varget has shown best accuracy for me with th 69&75gr
 
I have been shooting AA-2015 for, well, about as long as it's been available. I have shot many many kegs of it with 50 grain bullets in my AR's. Wonderful accuracy and great velocity.
