    I've got two batches of loads sitting ready to test with 55gr Hdy SP. Some with 2208 and some with 2206h.
    When the farm is finished lambing, I'll be out to try them.

    In my 20 inch barrel Mod 7 223 I use BM2 (25 grs) with the Hornady 55 gr SP/WC bullet works well on most things at sensible ranges. Getting 3070 fps in the 20 inch barrel.
    Work up to this charge weight start 2-3 grs lower.
