Please if you have any experience with loading this little bullet in 223 share your results and observations. velocity, accuracy and if used on game terminal performance.

I've shot them out of my AR-15 with good results. My load is 25.4 grs. H335 with a Rem. 71/2 Br primer. OAL is 2.250. Accuracy at 100 yds out of 16" bbl AR was 1.25". :)

I've used them in my Colt HBar Comp with 1-9" twist. I load them in LC cases over 26.5 gr AA2460 and the run right at 3,000 fps. They work fine on coyotes and deer (have to pick your shot on deer with this cartridge).  It is my preferred hunting bullet/load that duplicates M855 velocity. I only use this load with the 5 round magazine as the tips get beat up pretty bad in the higher capacity mags. That load runs 3140 fps out of my 26" barrel Savage.

H335 out of an AR15.

Took two deer with it.

good terminal performance, range was 60 to 90 yards.

I'm using the same bullet with 26.0 grains of Varget and get excellent results out of a Savage Model 10 FP w/ a 24 inch barrel. And my friend JPH45 uses the same load out of his T/C Encore with the same results. And he chronoed the load at just 3000 FPS.
It's a very good bullet.
Good Luck.

I think load development with this bullet is coming along rather nicely ;D

 1grn below max using Varget at just over 2800fps
