    52 ELDM or 53 Vmax?

    Just keen to have a tinker while I have the forum Chrony...

    Load is for Tikka 1-12 .223 so was thinking the 53 with 2206H?


    Anyone got a load that worked in their Tikka or tried the 52 ELDM?

    I use the smk 52 in a 223 as well as the 55gr hpbt no complaints with either. Same powder charge in both but way different trajectories.
