Reloading the .223
Been working up a load for my 223, I'm using Hornady 50 gr SPSX, I'm up to 24.6 gr of IMR 3031 powder and the case is full, max is 25.7
I've checked 2 differant manuals, weighed the powder charge on 2 differant scales. Is this normal, how do you get a near max load, or am I just overlooking something.

At this point and time I do not reload my .223 brass but I do save it. Does the cost of buying a reloading set-up with all the needed goodies out weigh the cost of buying ammo buy the case? I am buying PMC 55gr for 99.00 per 1000.
Please DO NOT turn this into a Wolf VS XXX brand bashing thread.
Thanks for the info

I load 24.1grs. of RE-15 with a 69gr Sierra and 23.6gr. RE-15 with a 77gr. Nosler for my 1/7 twists AR'S. /the 69's should shoot good out of a 1/9 too. 0 -
For 55gr FMJ & Vmax(and 50gr stuff too). I use XMR 2015. I think it is 24.5grs. I'm also getting ready to load some 68gr BTHP with TAC. The old Ramshot data had a max of 25.5gr of TAC the new data has 24something.
I am getting some Ramshot X-terminator to try with the lighter stuff. So far I have not crimped, no need. Also just full length resize, no small base needed.
I use almost exclusively CCI primers in AR's. Very seldom Federal(but almost always in bolt action's for small rifle)0 -
25.0gr of W748, a 69gr SMK and a CCI 450 primer in my RRA 20', 1/9 twist barrel. Works well for me. 0 -
ditto the 748 load with 69 gr SMK. 0
