Thread: 223 loads

2208 works well in a .223"
Used it with 80 gr A-Max projectiles in a stock Savage Model 12 with a 28" 1:12 barrel.

You should work out the load that suits and is safe in your rifle.

Are you sure you managed to get the 80gr A-Max to stabilise in a 1:12?

22" 1:8 perhaps?

Yep you're right - my mistake.
My Savage Model 12 (that''s where the 12 came from) has a 1:8 barrel.
