    the 40-45grn barnes could well be another option if can find any around. I had hoped the 50grn flat based ones would be ok...but they not recomended for 1;14 twist. they work great in 1;12 in the 223.

    funny looking at load data...either Ive been underloading the 223 for years or there is next to no difference between the two cartridges...
