Loading for 223

[HighlandLofts]

Remington 788 223 is a fast, accurate rifle no longer in production

I will be buying a Remington 788 in 223, Looking for the rate of twist 1 in 12" I came across this article.

When I pick the rifle up I'll play with it on loads.

i have been using blc2 powder and is working well in my savage bolt rifle .. have a bottle of ar-comp , have not loaded any up with it yet ..
got some 52 gr match HP to try and last reloading was with 62 gr i think FMJ ..

Everything Ive read from info that came up off a google search was 1-12. I wouldnt shoot anything heavier than 55 through it and more than likely would load 40gr vmaxs with Varget. Considering the speed factor would be up there, roughly around 3600fps,,,,,,plus vmaxs are cheap and accurate

If you wanted something slightly heavier 53gr vmaxs 3300fps with varget

You should get some of this Norma TAC 223 FMJ for the brass. It is great ammo.

I reload it with 60 gr. Sierra HP. But, my Savage Axis is 1:9.
