I did test loads all day today what a different ball game, I shot two 5 round groups each starting with 23.5 grains cfe 223 up to 25.5 grains 68 grain Hornady HPBT. 2.250 OAL.
23.5 to 25.0 all shot sub 1 in groups 25.5 was all over the paper.
The most consist loads was 24.5 with groups at .60 and 25 at .65 The accuracy on the bulleye was better at 25.0
I think that I am going to start my work up at 24.7 and see how it goes.
And move to 300 yards.
What do you think?
