Look up the threads started by CFJunkie. He has the most detailed load work for the .223.

I never tried Lapua or Berger in mine, 69 and 77gn Sierra Match Kings and 75gn Hornady ELD Match.

I do recommend Lapua brass if you can find it.

I have had excellent results with Federal Gold Medal Match that uses the 73 gn Berger. Have been loading the same bullet over 23 gn of Varget which works wonderfully! Both targets are 10 rnds at 100 yds with my Savage 110 in .223.

Whatta Hobby!

Looks very good, do you have a 1:7 twist as well?

Yes Sir. Same bullet works exceptionally well in another of my rifles with a 1:9 too. That is if you don't mind 1/4 moa groups. Whatta Hobby!

For a factory load, give ADI ( Australian Defense Industry ) 69 grain SMK a try. My Model 12 LRPV in 7 twist REALLY like them. Shoot them into sub-MOA groups at 500 yards.
