Thread: 73gr ELDM in 223

I had a rough crack with 23gr, 23.5gr and finally 24gr. The 24gr's of powder was my best but not quite as good as I would like.
I noticed its right up there at max so thought I would ask the question to see if there was a good bugger or 2 here that might share with me their pet load.

Kind regards

Greetings Adam,
I am loading 69 grain match kings ahead of 25 grains of AR2206H which chronographs 2,960 fps and gives excellent accuracy. The LOA is 57.5mm in my 1 in 8"" twist T3x. More important than the exact load is the velocity you are getting. Case capacity has a big efect in these smaller cases.
