oaken Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I think you need to be a bit more specific about your needs. .223 covers a massive spectrum. Bullets from 35-90gr and barrel twists 1:14 - 1:6.5. Not to mention a plethora of powders, all with very different burn characteristics.

Offroad Gary Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 27gn h4895 50 gn vmax or btip has worked in 3 that I've loaded for, still load for a keeper mate in his t3 stainless, nice accurate truck gun, lots of things drop to it, some at quite a distance.

6.5shooter Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 My present and past 1in 8 twist rifles shoot 60vmax with 27gr varget into a tiny hole. They also shoot 75gr hpbt hornady with 25 gr varget into sub quarter inch aswell. Previous rifle was a tikka t3 and present is an rpa custom with border archer barrel.

The rifle is a sako 75 A1, twist 1:12, to be used mostly from the 4x4 for foxes, point and shoot so I am looking for fairly light loads to 250 yards max. Cheers Tony.

oaken Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Ahh, then you want something fast and light. No need to apologise Tony, I just thought you might get more usefull information if you were a bit more specific. I can't help you as I have 1:8 and use heavy vlds.

DaveK Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 22.3gn N133 under a 55gn vmax. Has worked well in Remy700, Tikka, Cz527 and Howa. My current Howa tack drives this load at 100 yards and has taken foxes out to 300 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 H322 with Sierra 53 grain Match, Hornady 52 grain match, or Speet TNT 50 grain from my Hart-barreled Howa. The Sierra's and Speers will shoot under .32 inches with the Sierra Match in the OMG! range when I do my part. I use Rem 7.5's also.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummy Mark Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Have now been using the Berger 60gr Match Varmints for a while and more than happy with accuracy and terminal ballistics as a varminting round. I have settled on a load that has been good from 40f to 80f in my chamber. 22.5" Lilja 3 groove 1:7 twist Berger 60gr Match Varmint Remington 7 1/2br primer H335 24.9 2.330 coal Chrono 2900fps at 45f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
