Thread: 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 shoot alot of 53vmax from my 1-8 t3. shoot very well. use bm2.

What are you using it for, paper, varmints or large game?

mostly wallabies and hares. work well.

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.

Just started loading them in 223 as well, looking good in that too.

Yeah. Back in the meat days they are what I used in the .222 and .223. Closest thing to a Barnes we had back then. They are a good little deer bullet.

I haven't bought any since I sold the 22 250 but need more shortly.
52gr,very accurate

Jeez, sorry lads. Missed the replies!!

Hoping to hit goats with them. Thinking the 52 Eldm and want a load that will work in the 1-12 too.
