Light bullets in 1-8" 223

[6.5shooter]

Hi all,

Currently my 223 has 1-8" twist barrel which shoots the 75 grainers very well plus 60 vmax.

Anyone shooting 52/53 grain bullets through a 1-8" with good results?

Sorry Garry the rifle was only used for 100m target work and out to 250 or so point and squirt,,,,was zerod at 200.It was my former girlfriends rifle and not used a great deal.Also ran 73g bergers for paper punchuing with 22.5/135 again velocity unknown but just soooooaccurate. All I can remember was that these were not hot loads and primer condition just flattening and no cratering.

i am shooting 55gr noslers with n133 @ 24.6grs fps 3265 out of a 22" barrel and that was when i first got the rifle new, so matching all my data from this in quick load it should give me 3300 fps with 24.6grs of n133 using 52grs amax

I'm shooting 52 grain Sierra Matchkings through a 1:8 Tikka T3 Sporter up to 300m with decent groups (decent for me, I'm quite new).

 

Using 24 grains of Benchmark.

 

The groups are tighter than 75 grain A-Max at 100-300m but way wider at 400m.
