223 w/ 50gr CX

[KLS]

Sadly my Hornady reloading manual only has reloading data for the Discontinued GMX bullet not the new 50 gr CX. My son has Tikka Varmint in 223 1:8 twist that he may use for pronghorn if drawn.

Just curious if anyone has worked up a load for a similar combination. Should easily be able to push it 3200+ fps easily with A2230 powder. H335 or CFE 223 could also be used.

Use start loads with cup and core bullets of the same weight….. any breed.

You could safely use 52 or 53 grain starting data as well

Use the same data that Hornady published for the GMX. That's what Hornady told me.
