I ordered 8lbs of 415 from American reloading like hodgdon 335 fed ex delivery in a week,do some testing, get my numbers and fps start at 19 grains work up to 24 grains, I'll be buying some 223 62 grain 1000 bullets for $60 then it's 19 to 22 grains of powder
 
I have had bad luck with bargin 62gr FMJs for getting decent groups. They would print 2-3+" groupls in several rifles.I was about to give up on a rifle with a 1:8 twist and tried 62 Varmageddon bullets. They shot under 1/2 MOA in that rifle and in two others of 1:9 twist using H335 and Fed Sm Rifle primers.

I do alot of plinking, built a few ARs I'll try varmageddon check my groupings, also using the mp415 supposed to be like 335 we will see,put my findings up.
 
Id5 hold off on buying 1k of bullets before you ever test them.
Been guilty of buying bulk with hopes they'll work and it usually winds up biting me in the butt.
