W-735 and 69 grain match in .223??

[saskcop]

Anyone tried WC-735 and 69 grain match in .223 Remington. Seems to me that W-735 may be a little fast on the burn rate for the heavier .223. Anyone tried it and chronied the results? Pressure signs??? How is accuracy?

Never heard of it being tried, I've always stuck to Varget.

I know that Varget is good, but for the price, W-735 can't be beat, especially when loading in quantity. Varget doesn't seem to flow through the measure too well either.

I've tried it with the 75 grain a-max. It's a little on the fast side for such an application, but accuracy was decent. Never did chrony it, but I'd expect that it wasn't quite turning up the same numbers as Varget.

I'd be hesitant to suggest it. From my experiences using in in the 222 with 40 grainers and 735, it's hugely affected by temperature. POI shifts a good 8" with a 20* temperature change

Here are my loads, with H335 for comparison..
