Thread: .223 load

the wee .223 has been the most unfussy wee round imaginable.... tried win 748 BM1 BM2 2219 2206 2206H and it just does same thing with them all
projectiles..mainly been my wallaby rifle
55grn hornady sp 50grn hornady spsx (oh so explody,oh so good) 45grn taipans(even more explody,dont exit rabbits) 50grn sierra sp 50 grn Zmax and 50 grn ttsx the last two are my main stays....the ttsx for big animals gives huge confidence boost....
if you ever find norinco fmj in yellow carton,grab them..great ammunition and surprisingly good on middle sized stuff.
one really good thing,you cannot double charge a case no matter how hard you try...if you fill all your cases with desired charge,then shine torch down into all the cases,a wrongun sticks out like dogs balls.....a grain of rice from tumbler will fill a case enough more than eye will pick it.
I dont muck around with seating depth...you will already have a load that works,just set your seater die up using that.... it will be near as damnit to ideal....unless your going for compitition target accuracy it wont matter enough to matter....
