Well I finally found what powders and what bullets I am wanting to buy. I've started pricing, and I've found most of what I am looking for. I know for sure that I'm going to be buying my powders from Hirsch Precision and from Higginsons. The problem is, is that I am trying to find a more local guy to buy my bullets from. Higginsons has everything I'm looking for, which is great, but my thinking is, if I can find someone who is closer for relatively the same price, I can skip out on the shipping as I can simply pick up from them what I need. Right now, he only has in stock 40 gr HDY V-MAX for .223, and 174 gr HDY FMJ. I ok with these bullets types, but I can't find any load data for them. I tried the Hodgdon load data center online, and everything else I have, but they don't list them. Can anybody help me out. I have emailed him back in the hopes that he has some load data, or if he can order bullets for me.
 
40 gr.v max.starting load IMR4198 19.3gr@3300fps-max22.2gr@3700fps
40gr vmax.starting load H335 24.3gr@3300fps-max27.4gr.@3700fps
I'm a little confused about you asking about 174GR.fmg's I know that they arn't for 223!
Were you looking for 303 brit load data for the 174gr. fmj?I think that is the only 174gr. bullet in fmj.
 
The 174 gr. is a new long range bullet for the .223 and requires a barrel with 1-3" twist, it's for those on this site shooting 2" groups at 1000yds. with the .223.

Ben, I thought they all shot 2 inch groups at a 1000 yards?

It grieves me to say this, but even though I haven't owned a 223 I'm sure some of this has to be untrue:).
 
I like Ben's answer !He probably was thinking about 5.56mmx 45mm data and not 223.

Back to the Brit 303. data 174gr.fmj.
H4895-starting at 29.7gr.@2000fps.to max. 37.4gr@2400fps.
H414-starting at 35.2gr.@2000fps. to max. 49.2gr@2500fps.
IMR4350-starting at 37gr@2000fps.to max.44.6gr.@2400fps
IMR4064-starting at 31.4@2000fps. to max.39.3gr@2400fps.

I have data for 123gr.fmj data also. good gopher gitters!
