favourite .223 reciepe

[BigGun1]

Hi!

I'm new to reloading and have just recieved my lee aniversary kit with a few extras but reading the loading data I can't decide what powder to use. My rifle has a 1 in 12 twist so I am limited to light rounds (45.50 or 55 grain) what do you reccomend/use.

Thanks again.

I use 23.0 grn's of N133 and 52grn A Max's in my CZ and that is 1-12 and that shoots pretty well.

i've been told that varget is a good load to start with as you can't overload it. Is this correct?? And I'm planning on using 45 or 50 ngrain loads.

Just started loading for 223 myself, Varget 26.5 gns 55grain V max shoots well in my T3 light 1 in 8 twist.

Tried 27gns but not as accurate.
