LT32 is roughly equivalent to IMR 8208 in burn rate and performance.

He's a link to a PDF with .223 load data:

A buddy of mine who is the best rifle reloader I know just started with some 32 and was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy. Here is what he sent me about it:

I shot 5 each of 21, 21.9 and 22.9 grains. With Winchester military cases. Winchester primer, and Hornady 52gr. HPBT match bullets. The OAL was 2.230”. I’ve got 10 more loaded to shoot tomorrow with 23.1 gr. of powder and 5 of those have Wolf small rifle magnum primers. All of the ones I shot the other day had smoked the cases some and only one had a very slightly flat primer, so I feel like the pressure is dropping before the bullet has left the barrel. Also those Winchester primers aren’t real hot so I believe the Wolf’s will get thing cooking a little faster. The only reason I used that bullet is I had a few of them I don’t think there will be much difference between a 52 and a 55 gr. bullet.


Hope this helps. I just ordered some from Widener's so I'm looking foward to working up some loads also.
