my favorite 223 Remington load!

Thanks, Toney. Found my way from Cast Boolits and Gunloads. Looks like I'll be right at home here, too.

versifier,
WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!!!!
The 22/250 it toped out and groaning at the speed of 3800 with a 55gn bullet. the 22/243 will do well over 4000 with the same bullet. my dad shoots seara 80gn H.P. Boat tails in his 22/243 up to 3600. With a 64gn winchester bulk he shoots 0.3 M.O.A. At 100yds. the load of 45gn H- 450 shoots at a speed of about 3600, and is not a hot load. Dad says the biggest difference between the two is that his load with the Siera 80gn will cut the wind drift of the best factory 22/250 loads in half.

Wow! I'm impressed, and that's not an easy thing to do. Those velocities with that degree of accuracy is nothing short of amazing. Right now, I'm still experimenting with smaller .30cal rounds (next up will be .308X1.5 and .30/223 - the first one will probably be on a Mauser action, so will the second if I can find a mini action at a reasonable price) for short range deer hunting, but I'd consider playing with that .22/.243 at a later date. Out of curiosity, has he tried the Nosler 60gr PAR or the Barnes 70gr Triple Shock X BT?

I don't understand, please explain.
I have a Hodgon data (official company info) sheet for IMR4895 for a .223 55gr spitzer with a recommended STARTING load of 23 grns. You've started with 18.9 grains, I'm guessing your still pushing the bullet out the barrel!?
