Reloading .223

[rdl65]

Looking for some advice for a good starting load for .223 I bought a barrel for my Encore and need to work me up a load. It is 26", 1/10 twist, heavy barrel. What powder to use and how many grains? What type and grain bullet, and primer. Looking to shoot mostly at 200 yds or less, but want to have a good load for longer shots if needed. Hope to bust some groundhogs and coyotes. TIA

I`d use the 65 grain Sierra and some VihtaVuori N135, or H335 much easier to find.
