BlackEagle Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
