Guest varmartin Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 The one and only box of JLK`s I have used were 65 grain..given to me by a good friend on here. I loaded them for my .223 Sako 75 VLS 1~8 twist. 24.5 grains Vhit 140 @ approx 3000fps from memory...data not in front of me. The best group was 0.8 inches @ 300 yards... (perfect conditions I will add ) Very accurate in my rifle/ load combination. You should be able to push the 52`s to 3600--3700 fps with that load and still be safe !!!

Alycidon Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I am not sure they are still in production, I bought a box of 6mm 68 gr and found them on a par with Barts accuracy and effectiveness wise. Still have about 50 left. Your load sounds a bit hot for a starting load, I would come down to 34 or 35 grains to start with. I shoot all mine 2 thou off the lands. You will find them perfectly adequate fox killers with expansion similar to NBTs. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H380 or H4895 i've found works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
