    Looking for known accurate 223 loads

    I found some loading data for AA 2230-S but cannot find this powder. All I can find is AA 2230. It say the AA 2230-S is 4% faster so can I assume a load of none S can be 4% hight than S and still be safe.

    Very nice groups on both target. We will do what we can do after I develop a good load. I do have a SS NM air gaged 20" bbl so that's one good thing. May put in a good trigger later.

    Yes, the idea is to use a load the manual calls for but if it looks like its going to be a compress load vibrate the case a bit with you thumb over the mouth so it does not spit out the top in order to get the powder to settle better and make more room therefore avoid crushing a grains. Never...

    Is this a means of loading from the bottom up instead of just dumping it in. Can I achieve the same thing by taking the brass I just dumped the powder into and place the base onto a circular vibrating surface like your brass tumble tube with my thumb over the mouth. To me it's the same as when...

    Looking for known accurate 223 loads

    Well, I looked at all three powder and each one can get me close to the 3,240 FPS with maybe a few 1/10 over max load. That would get me in the ball park of matching the speed of factory 223 match ammo off the shelf. Now to find out which one if the most stable in all temperatures and burn rate...

    Just built one round of 223 with a 55 gr FMJ-BT bullet at 25.8 gr of IMR 4064. No problem what so ever using a funnel to get the powder into the case but I will say there was little if any room for allowing me to seat the bullet to the correct depth. I sincerely believe the base of the bullet...

    Accuracy to me is most important. I can always compensate for bullet drop and wind since most real world shots will be within 300 yards anyway. The bottomline for me is cost savings since everything in priced well off the chart for the average income person. I have to be able to have fun and...

    Well I see where IMR 4064 and Varget are close in burn rate so has anyone out here had any luck with IMR 4064 behind a 55 gr BlitzKing at 100 yards to 600 yards - https://imrpowder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/2020-burn-rate-chart.pdf I'm trying to avoid having to buy more than one powder for...

    I think it shows 23.7 gr of Varget is a compressed load so 24.1 must really be compressed. Anyway thanks for the insight. maybe some cases hold more than others. I'll be using PMC, LC and Remington. Don't have any idea which one has the most volume.

    Looking for known accurate 223 loads

    Please tell me what type of scope you are using. I have a Vortex 1 -6 red dot on the AR now but I do have a Leopold 1-12 AR scope in the safe. What type of scope does it take to be able to refine you position on the target to get this type of groups. Have you tried this Blitz King out to the 400...

    Don't think I'll be going with 24 gr of varget with a 77 gr bullet

    Looking for known accurate 223 loads

    Well, there is nothing like the next question. Since all I have is an RCBS Rockchucker and the wife and I are going thru about 200 rounds a week could I get some suggestion on what progressive press to buy that will drop powder charges as accurate as I need them to be which to me would be +/-...

    Whoo, I did a little looking around and found this - https://www.vihtavuori.com/powder/n133-rifle-powder/ and this - https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/rifle-reloading/?cartridge=7. Did not find a load for the 55 gr Blitz King but I guessing it close to being like the 55 gr Berger, FB...

    Looking for known accurate 223 loads

    Yes, I was reading about this powder this morning and it said it was the cleanest burning and more accurate burning powder used by many precision shooters -VihtaVuori N133. I will look into this and the Sierra 55 gr Blitzking ver the Hornady 55 gr FMJ-BT. If I wanted to eventually go out to 600...

    Do you mean GM205M primers. I cannot find a listing for F 105 M. Please advise.

    Looking for known accurate 223 loads

    Would you recommend Federal 105 M for almost any power one chose to use.
