Thread: 223 loading and trip to the range

Thanks for that, I will check out your thread, I did read it but there may be some updates.

I am really happy with the SP's and stoaked at 6 round to find the load (total fluke).

I do think the 73gr ELDM's have plenty of merrit too and that's good advice to try tiny changes, thank you for that.

I can't get back to the range until after lambing so I will try some of those SP's on game in the mean time.

I also think you are right about the 80gr liking 1.7 twist, mine is 1.8 so I might look at trading the 80gr for 73gr or similar at some stage down the track.
