first 223 reloads went well

[remmy1100]

well tried my first reloads for my 223 today and was impressed with there accuracy had few people say I could of chose better powder but knocked up a few anyways setteled on a 25.3 grain load of reloader 15 and a hornday bt 55 grain bullet zerod scope with hornday factory loads and then fired 3 reloads shots at 100 yards. which grouped well.

walked to the motor and

saw a crow on a bankside in field ranged it at 221 yards give it 3" holdover and 1 dead crow so there good at range too

Its good when you get a positive result straight away.

Looking good . Get some more loaded and try them at different ranges and see how they perform.

I use it in 7.92-its a great powder.

That's a nice group and a very dead bird. Looks like you are hooked!!

 

Regarding powders and burn rates it is all about what is acceptable and what is possible. If you shoot a bunch off the bench you soon become disenchanted with groups that are perfectly capable at most ranges and after a couple of bughole groups you become snobbish about powders and bullet combinations.

What you have will work fine for the range at which that bullet is useful.

looking to push it too 300yds max I started at lowest load but need to get chrony to see what velocity im getting as factory load puts out 3250 and is good out to 300yards .so wanting to match that .
