223 rem loads
« on: December 10, 2009, 08:15:00 PM »
Hey I'm new to loading for my NEf 223rem and wondering where is a good place to start.  It will be my coyote rifle with a 1:9 twist and from here I have no idea where to look for info.  I would lke to shoot the berger match grade in 50g+ but cannot find loading info on these.  If you have a load you think will work let me know.  Thanks alot.

Sounds like you should start by buying a loading manuel.Read that first and then look for recipes.

You don't have to use Berger specific data.  You can use data for another jacketed bullet of the same weight.

......I have had good results with H335 starting 25.0 grains with the 55 Hornady V-Max and the Berger 52grain hpfb.......I worked up a couple of grains and no pressure signs in comm. Rem cases and Rem 7 1/2 or CCI sr primers.......those Berger bullets shoot great....but I mainly shoot paper for fun with them but they did fine on a couple of coyotes that were after my "pet" whitetails........good luck and good shooting-loading!
