    Starting on the 223.

    OK, I've got many 100's of 223 cases all cleaned and prepped and it is time to start working up a load. My rifle seems to love the Hornady 55gr soft points in Hornady factory ammo, they do the job well, so I have a heap of them. I probably want to go with 2206h, but I also have BM2 and 2207 sitting there for some reason.

    So anyway, I've done developments for the 243 and 7mm Rem Mag and the ADI guide is typically very conservative for those, but I haven't done anything with the little case so far. What do you reckon I should start at and what sort of increments? The ADI guide only gives a 1gr spread from 25-26 gr of 2206h.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
