![]() ![]() I have also been confused about published. So, short of testing my load in any different rifle I may use it in and making sure they all function and cycle properly, is there any reason for me to continue working my charge weights up the scale? Heck, theoretically, I could decrease my load to mimick the PMC load- it runs fine in all my rifles. I know that one should load for accuracy and not velocity- but accuracy has as much to do with me as shooter as my load, without the means to mount my rifle to something to keep it motionless while I fire off groups of different charge weights.but anyway- I'm also developing the load to work reliably across different rifles, with different twist rates and barrel lengths- not just the one I'm using for load development and testing. This charge weight, according to the Hornady manual, puts me about 2/3 the way up the scale before the max charge/danger zone.Īccording to the Hornady manual, I still have 1/2 to 1 grain more leeway to load if I care to, but everything is working well and I'm basically right in the middle of factory ammo velocities as is. that combo gives me an avg velocity of 2767fps, which is just slightly faster than the Federal/American Eagle. The load I've worked up to is 26.2gr CFE223, Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT bullets, and Wolf Small Rifle Primers ( I also have CCI 400 primers, and find that my velocity decreases with those, FWIW).Īs of yesterday. Velocity = 2716 fpsĪll this is through my 'test' AR, 1x9 twist, carbine length barrel. velocity = 2807 fpsįed/American Eagle 55 gr 223 = Avg. that what factory ammo is, then so much the better.Īs I have worked up my current load, I also chronographed 3 different brands of factory ammo as a point of reference. So, my working up of my load is mainly to just have more ammo available, and if I can make it more accurate, consistent, etc. ![]() I do not pretend to be a sniper, and getting a tiny MOA of accuracy at 600 meters is not of any concern to me. If not, then reasons a and b above still apply. ![]() If it saves me any cash in the long run, great. Maybe some of you folks can lend some thoughts.įirst of all, my main reason for starting to handload is to a) have a fun new hobby, and b) make me less reliant on what ammo any area retailers or online vendors happen to have in stock (or not). 223 Rem, and have reached a point where I'm not sure what I'd gain if I continue.
