223 cal 69gr Nosler Custom Competition. what powder?

[tigrr]

I have a savage 12LRPV in 223 with a 26" 1-9 twist barrel. I just would like to know what you guys are using for 69 - 77 grain 224 dia bullets. I have Varget, IMR 4064, RL-15 and W-748 on hand. What recipe do you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

 

[smoktire]

24 to 25 gr of varget with wsr primers for the 69's

Varget okay 25 gr and a little more, Rl 15 shoots good with 69 sierras .250"
best velocity and shoots well VT540
but I am shooting a Remington 1/9 LOL

My 12FV didn't settle down until I got up towards the max loads. 25.8gr of Varget works very well for me and gives me a little over 3000fps with the 69gr Nosler Custom Comps

Well as an experiment, I loaded up 10 brass with IMR 4064 and 10 with W-748 and 10 with Varget, all under 69 gr Nosler CC's. we will see.

I have had great luck with 25.5 grains W748. I want to try some W735 too.

Hey Saskcop
What weight of bullet was the 25.5 gns of W748 under?
I'm told the barrel will last longer if I use W748.

69 grain Nosler

26 grains of 748 and 69gr work great in my sps tactical and mini 14

I have used 25gr RL15 with 68gr Hornadys, 69gr Noslers and 69gr Sierra MKs in my AR, with excellent results. Winchester cases, CCI primers.

 

[grizzly416]

25 gr varget and cci benchrest primers and ivi 5,56 brassin my mini 14 target .75 inch at 200m

 

[tigrr]

Well after a year of shooting I have settled on 23.5grains of IMR 4064.
.25" at 200 yards. gopher out to 500 yards.
thanks guys

 

[Ganderite]

About 25 - 26 gr of RL15. have almost 10,000 rounds through the stainless barrel and still shooting very well.

My LRPV (1 in 7 twist) loves Hornady 68Gr HPBT, with 26.0 Gr Varget lit by CCI BR4 primers, seated 20 thou off the lands.
