What is your favorite 223 bullet and powder for the Rossi?

I haven't started reloading for my Rossi BB 223 yet, but it shoots 1/2" groups at 100 yards with Winchester White box 45 grain ammo.

I worked up some loads for the Hornady 50 grain ballistic tip this weekend.  The powder was BL-C2 and it appears that it likes about 27.7 grains using the ladder system.  I've loaded up a few to try but haven't had the time yet.  Will let you know how they print.

Just an update on the loads I made up last week.  I got a chance to shoot a few this morning.  Three shots at 100 yards that a quarter could touch all three.  However the same quarter can cover three shots from the Winchester white box 45 grain hollow points.  I did notice that there was a little drag upon lock-up with the reloads that isn't there with the new rounds.  I think I'll load a few more with the die set down a little tighter to bump the shoulder back a little.  Maybe I'm not getting as consistant of lock-up as I could get.
