Thanks for that great info..

Yeah I seen that thanks man. was just after some real world data.

Just got another 223 almost finished putting together, its a 12 twist with a 14" barrel.
Planning to just shoot the 55gr hornady 2266 projectiles.

What sort of velocities are people seeing in 14" barrels?

Hodgdon has data for the .223 in their pistol section with a 15 inch barrel that may help.
GPM.

25.8gr of BM2 gave me 2850fps with 55gr out of a 14.5 AR

The 73ELDM are made specifically for a 2.26” mag. That is why there is a 73 and 75 ELDm.

In any event I’m satisfied that the safety envelope is inside the confines of the sorts of loads being used here. Especially with the 73 in a standard mag and the heavies in a longer one

This evening. 230 yds with a 60 grn Hammer. Front on central neck shot. Bored a good hole right through his neck and spine.
He was letting out the odd roar.

Looks dead.

What 223 are you using the Hammers in Tahr? Do you still use that Rem Model 7 at all?

Savage lightweight with 1:8 Hardy Barrel.
Use the M7 on wallaby but not deer so much cos of its 1:9 twist. But the Hammers do work in it ok.

Okay 223 experts,whats a nice barrel length (suppressed)for a 223 using factory ammo.Shooting mostly inside 250yds,deer n roos.Not too long 24'' but not to short and noisy.
