Sam The last load on your list..is that a compressed load..looks hot? It's a little compressed, taken from Hogdons data which lists 27g as max, I run it at near mag length. its shot half moa or less if I do what's required in three .223s, ( one AR and two bolt guns), good out to 300 yards, it's taken countless foxes, stops them in their tracks!

77gr smk's over a scoop of imr 4895 in RG brass over a CCI primer, works a treat in my AR loaded to fit the pmags. It's a hot load for 5.56 chambers only though with very flat primers (CCI are soft though) and brass life likely to be short, but with a few bags of the stuff, I'm not worried

I have come to a conclusion. CFE223 powder is only worth putting on your roses as fertiliser.

Viht n140, TR140 or if you want to go a bit faster RL15 or RS52 with the 77s, I personally use viht as I can get 3.5kg tubs making it a lot cheaper and it goes a long way in the mouse gun. It even meters quite well in the Dillon meaning I can churn them out several hundred by the hour.

I have just chrono'd my load of 24.5g of N140 using GGG brass and 77g SMKs to get 2627FPS (18" 1:7 barrel) ........I thought this was a bit slower than expected but it seems to match your numbers very closely. Anyone else got loads and speeds for 77 SMK?
