Re: Loads for 52gr match hpbt 223

I have used this for years and it's the most accurate I have found for the 12.
From the Lyman 45th, tested in a 12 twist 20" AR 15

52 Gr HP, 20.0 Gr IMR 4198

Re: Loads for 52gr match hpbt 223

26 grains of varget or 24.5gr TAC both at 2.2"

I've tried quite a few powders@ different weights for my 52 grain SMK's including IMR 4895, 3031, 4198, W846 but the best load that I found is 26.2 grains of W748 dispensed from an RCBS Chargemaster and CCI small rifle primers .It shoots 0.5" 5 shot groups @ 100 yards in my Remy PSS and sub moa in most of my AR's and being a ball powder is a delight to load.

what are your pet loads for a 20" heavy 1:12 twist barrel using a 223 52gr match HPBT bullet.

"Win case, trimmed to 1.750, Rem 7 1/2, 27.0 grs Re-15, 52 gr Sierra MK, OAL 2.250, NO crimp."

This is reputed to be a benchmark load for testing out barrels, from one of the mods over on the Reloading Forum at AR-15.com.

He designs fighter jets, so who I'm I to argue?

I have everything to load up some of these 'free radicals'.

While this load isn't very fast it has been a "hammer" in all the rifles that I and others have tried it in.
21.5grs. RL10X, anybodies 52 -53 gr. bullet & just about any small rifle primer.
Semper Fi

 

[mws2000]

Another vote for W748 but I use 26 grains. Very accurate in my guns.

Doubt that Scott H is going to answer your question since he has not been seen here since April 21st, 2013, seven years ago when this thread was active.

You're shooting 1/2 groups at 1000 yards!

I use 26.0 gr 748 .hard to beat with 52 gr bthps.

I'm shooting 27.0 of Win 748 and at 100 yards I'll shoot 3/8 all day...providing I do my part!

I have some of that, I'll give it a try!

Try about 25 1/2 grains unless you’re using a thick case like Lapua. I use Winchester.

Magic powder BM2 and this load is hyper accurate.

Since the OP was looking for this load in 2013 I hope he has found it by now!

Sorry guy fat fingers put 1 to many zero's. meant to say 100 yards

It's okay, we've all done it!

VihtaVuori N133 works well with the Sierra 52 grain MK when fired from a semi-automatic AR-15. The 10-shot group pictured below was fired at distance of 100 yards and has an extreme spread of 0.62".

I would love to find some VihtaVuori N133! Nice shooting!

If you reread my post it was corrected to 100 yards quite a while ago.
