I just purchased a NEF in .223 bull . I am looking for some of your favorite loads. I am going to try 40,50, and 55gr vmax bullets with either h335 or blc-2 powder.

Where would you guys start?

i've had my best luck with 27.5gr of bl-c2 under a 55gn v-max

40gr. Vmax with 26.5 grs. of H 335. Nothing but the moly's will shoot well in mine. Digger

24.5 grains of H335 with 55 Grain V-max works fine in my 223 HB.

Mine likes 27.5 grains of Varget with a 50 grain Hornady V Max. I'm using the moly coated bullets, but I will probalby go back to uncoated when I run out of these.

50 gr v max with 28 grs of bl-c2 works well for me.
