RL-15 .223 Loads?

[Paulinski]

Is anyone loading 55gr FMJ using Reloader-15.

I know it work well with heavier bullets but I have fair supply of it.

Normally I use H335 but its getting hard to find in my area.

25.3 gr to 28.0 grains RL15 for a 55 FMJ. From the burning charts....RL15 is comparable to Varget . Loads are just about identical. 25.5 to 27.5. Varget.

The FMJs are not condusive to accuracy. I have shot over 3000 with different powders and still have not found one that will shoot 55s under 3 " at 100.

Its just blasting ammo. I'll load some up and test them.

For plinking and a few critters, they seem to work ok but expect a few flyers.
