I need some help here. Has any one found a good load for the 60 Gr Nosler Ballistic Tip in 223 rem? From the Nosler Manual #6 is only showing 60 gr Nosler Partitions. Should I use the same load specs? The two are totally different bullets, different construction and BC. I see lots of Hornady, Speer etc. for 60grs bullets but I know its not just plug and play. Please help.
Loads for 60 Gr Nosler Ballistic Tip 223 Rem.

Use load data for other 60gr bullets of the same makeup. (Copper with lead core)
Sierra Blitzking, Hornady V-Max etc data will get you where you need to be since they are similar design.
23-26gr of Varget is a good starting point. H322 would be another good powder for the 60gr bullets

My pet coyote load when I lived on the prairies 100 yrs. ago was any 60 gr. bullet preferably hollow point over 28.0 gr. H380.
This load in a Rem. 788 accounted for dozens of coyotes every winter.
Its a compressed load and showed no sign of pressure in any of my 223s, but you should work up to it for safetys sake.
Some may say that its a bit too slow burning, but it worked well for me...

My pet load for my Sig was 23.9 AA 2230 in an IVI case with the 60 gr V Max.
Thanks guys for the replys. I called Nosler just in case and was told to use the PARTITION load data. Guess I'll do that. Gonna go with the Varget...spent all day looking for Varget...apparently all Varget is sold out around the GRVD!! I'll wait a few days now....
