From your experience, what's your WK180-C commercial and reloading pet loads? As I'm awaiting the arrival of my WK108C, I want reload or buy a supply to break-in the barrel and feed the piglet.
 
Bulk plinking ammo with stock 180 barrel:
Mixed range brass, RCBS small base sizing die, S&B SR primer, 24.5gr H335, Campro 55gr, COAL 2.250~2.260".
I like H335 because dropping straight out of lee perfect powder measure gives me +-0.1 grain accuracy, so I don't need to measure individual drop. Shoots to about 2.5MOA at 100 yard.

I noticed the WK180c is pretty good on brass. A lot of range pick up 223 has nasty ejector mark at the head. But none of my wk180c brass (factory or reload) has any ejector mark.
 
Do a good break in. 1 shot, solvent wipe, dry wipe, 1 shot, etc. for the first five. Then 3 shots between cleanings for the next 15.
Independence 5.56 fared better than XM193, which was better than XM855.
Astonishingly, Winchester value pack (white box) 45 grain hollow point closes in on 1 MOA for me.
That's my critter gitter till I work up something better.

Is the Winchester value pack in 223 or 5.56?

Thank you

Is this the 1 MOA round? https://winchester.com/Products/Ammunition/Rifle/USA/USA2232
