If you want to try some out, I'll send you some. pm me your addy. The amaxs have shot better for me in the past. The 70vld however beat them both for accuracy in all my factory tubes. </div></div>

Can I get in on this trade? I'll trade Amaxs for some VLDS. I want to see how they work in my 9" twist gun.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Strickland</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'm looking to purchase a 223 rifle for some local matches (500 yard and in).

I found a Rem700 SPS Tactical 223 with a 1:9 twist and a 20" barrel.

I've never loaded for 223 before, except mass loading for an AR.

I know I can shoot a 69 gr through a 1:9 easily. What about a 77 grn? I've got 1000 Nosler 77 HPBT that I have been saving to make an accurate load once I found a rifle.

It seems to be hit or miss with 77 grns out of a 1:9.

And then, will a 20" barrel be long enough to get the 77 grn fast enough?

Thanks

An LTR punched 223AI will stabilize the 75A-Max and is quite a bit of rifle,for the loot.

I have a Remington 700 VTR in a 223 with a 1 in 9 twist and have shot PMC X-TAC Match 77 grain very at 100 yards an it stabilized.
