best load for 1 in 9 twist .223


Recommended Posts

Hi all;

I've been scanning the topics and haven't seen answers I'm looking for.

What is the best load for a 1 in 9 twist .223 heavy barrel? I'm using Vit N140 powder? What do you advise for military cases and non-military cases? What are best bullet weights for punching holes in paper? Range will be primarily 100 yards, but will go up to 200-500 yards from time to time.

Thanks

Hi Mate

 

Not sure about 1/9 barrel mine is a 1/8 i use lapua cases and nothing else..i use 60grn vmax with 24gn vit 135 which i find very accurate out to 600 yds plus

 

below is a 3 shot grp at 130yds. going to work on seating depth next when back in uk, but its shooting consistently at same POI every time
