    223 advice

    I'm getting a 223 barrel for my R93. It will mainly be used by my daughters for goats, deer etc.
    I'm thinking a 55gr Barnes TTSX with either H335 or 2206H.
    Anyone got any advice on these loads or another suitable. I don't know what the twist on the barrel is yet.

    With mine they would only shoot with 2208. But I really wanted to use 2206.

    I've got some 2208 so that would be good.

    Have had some good loads with BM2 also, but 2208 is performing better than I can shoot

    I have used BM2, BM1 and currently 2206H, I ran/run 25gr on all three powders and all three gave good velocity and good accuracy on Rabbits out to 470yrds. All projectiles ( V Max , Varmeggedon , Hornady SX varmint and softpoints ) were 55gr.
    The Hornady 55gr soft point training ammo would be good from rabbits, goat and deer.
