Someone with a Sierra #5 manual
Is there any list of powders for the 65 SBT in .223? I know there isn't any under the AR loads, but I don't have the whole book.

Shoff,
They dont list anything at all fo a 65gr of any kind but they do witha 55gr. sbt0 -
Thank you, kind of what I figured. 0 -
No problem 0 -
use the same weight from another manual and go for it.
If they jump from 60gr to 70gr, you can split the difference with the lsited powders that are common to both weights.0 -
Loaddata.com lists 57 loads taken from the #5 manual that can be used with either the 63gr. SMP or 65gr. SBT interchangeably. 0 -
Sierra fifth edition under .223 for AR15 does list the 65gr SBT. I am looking right at it. It's on page 220.
What do you want to know?0 -

You have a newer page then mine. [:D]
I emailed sierra. They said the bullet can be interchanged with the 63 grain data.
I was trying to find data before I bought some bullets.0 -
Yep, I had the book in front of me last night when I saw this post because I am going to use that combination for woodchucks this year if it pans out accuracy-wise.
What are you shooting this out of?0 -
