Favorite powder w/ 60gr. V-MAX Bullet

[Tactical30]

Im about to reload some 60gr. Hornady V-MAX's to match the accuracy of the Hornady 60gr. Factory TAP ammo (I get fantastic accuracy with the 60gr. TAP ammo but its a hellava lot cheaper to reload them rather than spend $20 for 20rds). Im guessing that is a 60gr. V-MAX bullet they are using with the factory TAP ammo.

Anyhow, <span style="font-weight: bold">which is a good powder to use for the 60gr. V-MAX?</span>
What powder do you use?

I actually had very good accuracy using 24.0gr. of Benchmark over a 62gr. Remington match HP bullet/ Winchester Brass/ Fed205M Primer so I guess ill try Benchmark first.

Corrected!
In order of accuracy for me. Benchmark .2's, Varget .4's, W748 .5's.

In order of velocity for me. Varget=3,100, Benchmark=2,975, W748=2,960

Work up to pressure sign or case full in 223 with 60 gr Vmax, and H335 will win with velocity.
