This load works in every 223 I have tried it in.

26.5 grains of H4895 under a 50 gr Nosler BallisticTip.... 3340 fps

Go now and have fun!

One of my pet .223 loads is 24.5gr of AA2300 and 50 gr v-max with cci primers. Both of my .223's love the AA2230 and it is some what more available around here ! The 40's shoot really well in my handi 1-12 also. I just like the extra authority the 50's have. Mark
