there are a lot of choices
H322 can be a bit too fast for a 20" AR, I don't know how it works with the Mini. Varget and Rel15 are the usual recommendations for 75 and 80 grain bullets so they are probably on the slowest end of the spectrum. That is a range of about 30 different powders, any of which could potentially work well. A good AR might well shoot under 1 MOA with all of them, 1/2 MOA with the best. 3031 is a little bit faster than H322 so it is worth a try but might or might not reliably function the gun.
I've read that 4198 can be accurate in a bolt gun but probably won't operate a gas gun.
