Recommended .223 loads

ballous dad
Greetings..need help from the experts. I am about to reload some .223 stuff, and need recommendations. I have 50 gr PSP Rem. bullets, and 55 gr FMJBT Winchester bullets. Mixed GI brass, all primed with Federal small rifle primers. On hand I have 4064, H380,4227, BLC-2, 4895, 4198, 4064, 3031, Rx7, and H110. One of the rifles is an Armalite M15A2, the shorty; the other is a shooter built on a surplus early M16, with a Fulton lower. The 3rd is an AK Whang Chong Yellow River special that I don't expect much out of. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks.

    Ask over on the reloading forum, which is cleverly disguised as the paintball forum. I've used 4198 and 3031 with good results depending on the gun. I hesitate to give loads that I've used, for liability reasons. Just go with any good manual.

    The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    I use 55 grain Sierra GameMasters and BLC-2 and have taken everything from crows to whitetails with no problem.

    Thanks for the advice, guys. I have posted on the other board, and I was also glad to hear about BLC-2, which has always been my favorite powder.

    I have had excellent results with both 4198 and H-335 when using bullets of 40-50 grains. My favorite .223 load is a 40 gr. V-max with 29 grains of H-335; excellent velocity and accuracy and a very clean burning powder. I use Remington primers.

    It's easy to spot liberals-they are the ones who have no assets to protect and need every handout they can get. They have forbeyed themselves ascendence to a productive lifestyle.
