Hi All,
I picked up an Axis in 223 a couple weeks ago... and I sighted it on with some crappy Wolf Steel case ammo. Well... this morning... I worked up a few rounds and went to the range.
Below is a box-stock 223 Axis XP. (with the stock Bushnell scope)
The load was:
FC once fired brass
55 gn FMJ boat tail from Midway. (Armscor)
24.3 gn H335 powder
CCI 400 primmer
I made some up with the 450 primers (magnum)... but the standard primers were more accurate.
This was at 100 yds. The group measures 0.65" to the outer edge of the holes.
Love this cheap rifle !!!!!!
Ignore the cover dots... those were from my 270.
