Hey, im sure this has come up before and ive been looking on here to try and find some info but i cant seem to find anything so i thougt ide toss a thread in here. If someone has already asked plese send me the link for the threat so i dont waste anyones time. Thanks

I've just bought a bunch of reloading gear and have seen many different load amouts for the same grain of bullet. ive bought sierra match king in 52, and 53 (suj by saleman) and i also order Hornady 75 gain traditional match. I have Hodgon H335 and ive seen anywhere between 21-27 gains of powder. My rifle is a .223 wylde 1/7 twist any suj on a good load to start with? and a max load? all the manuals from the powder manufacture, bullet manufacture. have really varried.

Sierra AR Loads

Thanks for the link I had printed the Sierra AR data before but misplaced it somewhere so just printed it again...

I'm getting ready to start reloading for my XCR-L 223 just ordered 1 lbs of TAC & some 62gr TSX I have found that 53gr Speer Varmint HP's seem to be fairly consistent as well looking for a V-Max to shoot as well though...

I have a bunch of 55grFMJ loaded for my XCR and have a few different Vmaxes to try as well as some Noslers (60gr I think) but haven't had the time to load some and get out to try them.

Are you target shooting,hunting varmints or what?A 1/7 should shoot the heavier .223 bullets very well if you are looking for accuracy.

Target shooting. yeah ive heard mainly heavier bullets work best for the fast twist rate

Well the good news is that you have a ton of bullets to choose from.What rifle are you shooting?It will make a big difference if its an AR or a bolt gun.If its a bolt gun you could go all the way up to 90grs which seems to be gaining a lot of steam in the precision world.If it's an AR you will be pretty much limited to what fits in the mag while still giving you the needed amount of speed.Generally that is a 77grn and no more.
