Thread: 75gr Amax 223, UPDATE

I decided to give the ladder test a second go, based on what I read on what I perceived as reputable websites (not just forums).
The thought of using less reloading components sounded nice.

I tested the loads made up and was some what successful.
All but one load shot under .9moa, one was under .6moa and one under .5moa. Sadly the two good groups were separated by the worst group of the lot.
As I had it in .2gr increments I will choose the two best loads and load up 5 rounds of each and then a 5 rounds .1gr higher and lower and see how it goes.

At first I was hoping to not spend too much on the whole load work up, but considering load development is the most I tend to get to shoot in one sitting, I don't mind if it costs a tad more.
If the two good groups I shot weren't flukes (which I don't think they were) I'll be pretty stoked as I will (hopefully) have a .5moa load doing over 2800fps from my factory sporter weight Tikka with no mods. So fingers are crossed!
