.223/5.56mm loads that produce little/no smoke?

I need to reduce the amount of smoke my .223/5.56mm 16" AR15 emits so it works better in night matches with a weapon mounted light. I tried a suppressor but it only delayed the ultimate smoke release. Any suggested loads?

What powders have you tried?

Don't forget about the Flash! Rules out H335

Smoke is much worse than flash because it seems to last forever.  We have a semi-regular series of night matches locally and I picked up a new super-duper bright light to replace my old light.  WOW, every time I turned it on the RO said "Daytime!"  The only problem was, it was like driving in a fog bank.  2 shots into the first stage and all I can see is a wall of fog.  I put the old light back on and it was better, the fog was still there, but at least I could still see the targets.  The previous matches had been in the summer, this match was late fall and it was much colder and damp.  This was on my PCC, but I changed to a quicker powder and that has solved the smoke problem to where I can run the brighter light.

So I’ve used Winchester 748, CFE223 and H335 and out of the 3, 748 has had the least smoke. 
 

it’s your powder tho, 100%

H322 works really well.
