Hello to all!
As of 10pm 8-13-11 I was a neube on this sight.
I've been reloading for 30 years and casting bullets my own bullets for at least 3 years.
I have a 223 rem heavy 26" 1:12 twist barrel rifle.
The barrel sluged at .224.
I am asking anyone if they have any favorite powder(s) and powder charges for for my caliber bullet combination. From what I have read I believe I should stay near the low 1900-2200 fps range.
I've cast some RCBS 22-055-SP 55 gr. lead bullets at 14-15 BHN
The bullets are gas checked, sized at .225 and lubed with lithi-bee red.
I have test fired some samples using 10gr. of 2400 powder that chronographed at 2150 FPS.
I have also have Unique and Hodgdon H335 available along with CCI small rifle primers.
I'm just interested in what others may have tried.
