for .223
found this on the net
powder 27 gr BL_C(2)
Bullet 50gr Nosler Balistic tip

What case and primer would u use

For coyotes

Thanks
 
I use 27 or 28 grains (or any where in between) of blc2 with 55 grain nodler BTS in 223. The load shoots 5 shots easy under an inch at 100.
But work up your load.
 
BL_c2 is a very good powder choice for the rem223. 27gr's should be very safe would start at 25gr's and work up to 27gr's with 28.5gr's for a max charge if you want to go that hot. Use small rifle primer's. Use any caseing that you like just remember to full length size them. Until they are fire form for your rifle then neck size if you want i would seat them at 2.25 coal but not sure of your rifle's throat you may want to play with seating depth's i hope this help's you out. Sorry i'm not in more detail , i have my little guy on my lap trying to push button's. i just seen your ad and thought i would help..Please be safe...remember to start at min and work your load up. Watch for crater's in primer & also little (i call happy face's on your fired casing's) if you see any of these stop and back off your load .5 of a gr or so....take care

I forgot also nosler b-tip like to be seated .02from the o-give to the land's thats where i found there sweet spot, i load 7of my rifle's with nosler & get great result's. Yeah my uncle back home was having a real issue with coyote's so i sent him a 223 , after couple of mounth's hunting them with that they started staying out to 500 to 600 yards just out of reach so i built him a 270wsm on a rem 700 action i had. Sure gave those dog;s a real surprise when he started wacking them, i mounted a ziess 1000 yard ballistic rectile then developed a load to match, so the old boy is pretty happy with that. But take care & happy coyote wacking if i can help you out any more please feel free to ask. There is never a silly ??? only stupid answer's....LOL.

Best regards ...Ron

27 gr seems a little low for that bullet weight. I tried BLC and found it too shot well and get good speed out of it. I loaded my as high as 28.75 behind a 53 gr V-max. I do not recomend this load! it is over max and i had trouble ejecting my shells some times. I settled at 28grs, but have now moved on to Benchmark and prefer it. All this being said you should find load data for your bullet, choose a case and primer that you want to use and work the load up starting at or near the min load. Rember that a load that works well for another gun may not shoot worth a D@#m in your rifle so you may have to try several before you get one that works well for you.

Here's a link to Noslers load data.

www.nosler.com/Reloading-Data/223-Remington--5.56x45-NATO-50-Grains.aspx

Here's another good site if you want to try a different bullet.

PS do not use recipes you find on the net unless they are from a trusted source IE manufacturer.

On a side note. I too have a problem with coyotes. They did not concern me so much untill they started coming into my yard on a regular basis. Now it's whacking time!

Hope this helps. G
