    Well, I have been listening to you guys, so I went back and leaned on my 70 grains loads a little bit. Figuring I cant get enough 2208 in a .223 case to hurt anything too badly, I now have the 70 grainers going 2988fps for a 1.1 inch group.
    I figure this is a warmish load. But normal extraction and I can still neck size the cases and use them again. Allowing for the shorter barrel length, it will have to be around the same pressures as the book max.
