Anything below 60 grains should shoot very well in your 1-12" twist rifle. My personal favorite in .224" is a 50gr. VMax bullet, but just about anything should work well enough. I like 26.0 Benchmark powder, it burns cleanly and shoots well, but other powders will work, too, like H-335, 748, H-4895, TAC, Exterminator, and probably a bunch more. Welcome to the .204um, we also shoot .223s :D
