    .223 1-8 Twist loads

    Hi all,

    Just searching for info on the 1-8 Twist .223 loads.

    I have some Winchester 64 and OSA 55 grain factory loads to try.

    You tube is suggesting the OSA will work well but I'm also after anyone who has tried Hand loading the Nosler 60 grain Tipped, Hornady 75 & 80 Amax, Hornady ELD-M 75 or any other pills of any weight that have worked in their Tikka .223 1-8 Twist.

    I have a shed load of once fired brass so keen to see what people have used.

    The objective is to smash gongs and vermin out to 300 at the moment, with the hope that we can push further in the right conditions with the right load.

    I'm also aware that the magazine is limited in length.
