I've used H-322 powder for my mini with ok results. Shoots just as well as factory loads, but no better. Hodgdon max load for 55gr bullet is 23.0gr I think, I had good luck with 22.0 to 22.5. No considerable accuracy difference between those two, loaded in .1gr increments.

+1 on the above, H322 is a fine powder for the 223, for me it's 22.5 grains
for the 55 grain Winchester soft point, and FMJ
