I searched on here for some insight and did not find much so hopefully this will help someone else as well. I did several different loads ranging from 55gr up to 77gr bullets out of my .223 5r milspec 700 rifle.
here are my results
Lapua brass
cci 450 primers
21gr varget powder
77gr smk bthp
my coal was 2.360 and it fed in my mag
first picture is 3 shots at 100 yards second is 5 at 300 yrds with 8-10 mph wind
Never would have thought a 77gr bullet would shoot so well out of a 1in9 twist barrel!
