stick or flake

most rifle powder is either ball/sperical or the stick type flake is usually for shotguns and pistols but not in all cases, I have used Hodgen powders ie H4198 ,H4895 and Varget in .223 curently use varget mainly any of the three are good have used most other hodgen in other cals with very good results

Varget or Re-15 are good in .223. Depends on the pill you are pushing, I was using the heavier 69 and 77SMKs.
