Thread: ADI book max’s

its a 223......
please take this as kindly as its intended....... you just getting over a flinch,so your using a .223 which is mild to shoot..DO NOT try and make it a .243 if you want to push an 80 grn pill reasonably fast buy a .243 and load it mildly......
as for your question...if book max has you nearly compressing load....you can treally go much further so why bother trying??? get a stinking hot day,blow primers and throw soot and grit in your face and that wee flinch problem suddenly will become a whole lot worse,cause now your mind KNOWS that bang thing can hurt.....

stick to load thats a little below max ,,,everything will be under less strain,brass will last longer too.
I dont load heavier than 55grn in .223 and still kill animals out to 150 yards no fuss or bother.... and thats no hot load either...
