Have been using N133 for all my .223 shooting. Have found it to be very consistent with the bullets I normally shoot (52 and 55 grain).

N133 for 55 & 60gn, with very good results with Hornady V-Max, sub 1/2 MOA.
N140 & TR140 for 69, 75 & 77gn. Again very good results with both 69 and 77gn SMK's, sub 1/2 MOA. However never been able to get good results with the 75gn A-Max.
Played around with N135, had reasonable results with 55, 60, 62 and 69gn FMJ and SMK's, probably compariable to good military surplus/GGG.
All based on a 20" 1 in 8 twist barrel.
