Thread: Anyone used Hodgdon Titegroup for 223 sub loads ?

Detonation if it happens is with reduced charges of slow burning powder in big cases, small charges of pistol powder in a .223 may not be very accurate but it won't detonate a pinch of dacron will improve the accuracy 3-5 grains
of AS30 burn rate powders work ok in .22Hornet .222 and .223 just need to play around and see what works best, be careful not to get a bullet stuck in the barrel they are a bastard to remove unless they are cast bullets,
For reduced loads not subsonic Hodgdon recommends a 60% load of H4895/AR2206H, I have used 25 grains of AR2206H with a cast 151 grn HP bullet in my .308 velocity is around 1800fps depending on barrel length.

Thanks for that. I didn't realise it had anything to do with the powder burn rate. I thought it was purely down to too lower load density regardless of the burn rate.
From that last thread I read it may will be a myth anyway.

what kind of accuracy are you getting with this load at 100yds . . . could be just what i'm looking for

I haven't done a lot of load development on them but 10 shot groups are around 1.3" a friend uses AR2208 with much the same results.
