Anyone have a pet load with these?

Having just acquired a 700vsf from a fellow nes’r (believe its 1/12 twist) looking for info on hand loading 40gr xtp bullets. I have TAC and Benchmark for powders on hand. Thanks
 
I'm about to load some 223 with a light bullet. Tac and Benchmark are 2 of the powders I'll be using. What velocity range are you looking for?

Both powders look like they will be around 3500+. Found an online retailer offering same bullet remanufactured at a price point under .40/rd. At that price im just going to order them and see how they shoot. Edit. Now 50/rd
