.223 recipe

[hogman306]

just brought home a ruger mini 14 fitted with a remington 700 barrel and some trigger work. not sure of barrel twist yet. shot 1.25 inch groups when i tested it with cheap ammo in the wind. what do we recommend for a good recipe for a good coyote round. i hope i can get it under an inch at 100yds.it is suppose to be a tack driver we will see.

I want to see pics of this thing.

55 gr sierra btsp with 25 gr of benchmark or 26.5 gr of varget are my go to's for coyotes.

took it out this morning with some store bought pmc and it shot 7/8 inch at 100yds, i know i can get this better with reloads. ive been shooting a .220 swift ruger number 1 for several years and it is a tack driver so im happy with the semi autos performance!! sorry i dont have any pictures yet..but it looks just like a ranch model with a houg stock but the barrel says remington 700 target

Has anyone has good luck with H355? I am thinking about giving that a go for my AR.

 

[BC_Guy]

My accuracy load was win brass, br4 primer, either 23.8gr varget, 77gr smk

For h355 I used win brass, cci primer, 26gr h355, 55gr fmj
It meters great, and so is awesome on a dillon.

I just finalized a load for my Remmy 700SPS Tac. in .223.

Federal 1xf brass, Federal Match primers. 25.5gr of Benchmark. Nosler 50gr. BT @ 3160fps.

The best part..... My groups are under 3/4" @ 200y...... Best 5 shot group was .67"

Cheers!

Savage model 12 - Win brass - CCI primer - 70gr Berger VLD - 24gr varget. Just about to kiss the lands. Groups .366 at a 100y. maybe better if I sand bag it or get a sturdy rest

Any idea which smith put a 700 barrel on a mini14? Interesting project to say the least.

Interesting.
If it wouldn't be a problem, could you post a photo of the barrelled action? Wondering how the 'smith who set this up dealt with the larger diameter barrel and the operating slide.
