Hope this helps a bit
This does not help. What you posted for the .223 with 50gr bullet is impossible, and dangerous. 26.5gr is listed max with Benchmark, with Hogdgon's web site.
Right on Smokeless, this is exactly why you never try somebody else loads. Do your on load development and use the manuals for your data. There are no short cuts.
