For my Weatherby vanguard in .223, 24" barrel

Bullet: Hornady v-max 40grs - Hex Boron Nitrate treated
Brass: Hornady
Primer: WSR
Powder: Benchmark
Charge: a lot
Velocity: 3750fps

It took a long time to figure out that my rifle likes light and fast.

If you like shootin 35 or 40 grainers try some Viht N120. Very Very Very fast!!!!!!!

with my short barrel (20")and slow twist(1:12) should I go below 55gr to 35 or 40gr bullets??

Yes. 55's will be a waste of time. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

I have only used V powder for pistols but quality is very high. Price to.

In a short barrel. Perhaps RL7. I tried it and liked it, just not as much as Benchmark. YMMV
