Anyone have experience loading .223 for the Axis? What does your gun like the best? What loads have you worked up?

Load for doing what? Hunting? Short or long range match/target work?
Just worked up a new varmint load for mine the other week. I settled on a 50gr Nosler BT over 26.0gr Ramshot TAC with a CCI BR4 primer. Ogive is currently at 1.893" and OAL is 2.300" so they'll fit in my Magpul mag's to use in my AR's as well. Shoots just under 1/2 MOA in my gun which is plenty accurate for punching holes in groundhogs.

depends on what twist your barrel is. That makes a huge difference.
No two barrels are the same, and powders burning rate variations are large enough; you really need to do your own homework and see what makes your rifle happy.
I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.
