Accurate 5744 for .223

[Smiley]

Well this good to know. I guess I am back to searching around for some store that has a appropriate powder in stock.

Thanks for the input.

I have a dream that one day I will finally be able to load some 223 (only been waiting 6 months to find the right supplies).

Give them a call at GA Arms in Villa Rica and see what they have in stock. Last time I went by, I picked up 3-lbs of Varget, they also had some H335 and BL-C(2).

Them not being open on weekends has been a problem for me.

Yeah that is my biggest concern. It fills half the case.




It is the starting load.

I like hearing the powder crunch just a little when I seat the bullet,,,the rifle case wont hold all the powder for some max loads in a 222 mag, I would much rather have them full or almost full , than half full

Do not! use any bullet heavier than 55 grains..

Are you saying that because you don't see any load data for heavier bullet weights?
Or do have some other reason?

wont cycle an ar or semi at that burn rate

I will be able to get to the range today, so I will see how it shoots.

I will not be loading a ton of these (as we have discussed not really the a well suited power) but it would be good to know if this could be a worst case situation option if needed.
