Thread: Hornady 62 gr 223 proj not grouping

There are a whole bunch of powders between 2207 and 2208 which you could try which aren't gonna be compressed and aren't so unnecessarily fast burning. BM2, 8208, 2206H, H335 etc...

Not every barrel is gonna shoot every projectile amazingly with every powder (or at all). They're bulk grade FMJ's (not Bergers) and I'm guessing you're using a basic off the shelf hunting rifle rather than a custom 25+lb F-class rig.

Quit doing the 3 thou at a time seating depth tests. Load up 15-20 somewhere safely below max with a decent bit of jump with a more suitable powder and shoot a bigger group. That'll give you a better idea of how they're performing. I would have fairly low expectations.
