Thread: Anyone reloading 35 grain 223's ??

The 35s are going slower before 200 than a 55gr is, starting at 4000fps vs 3200 for 55 and only drop .3" of an inch less. They'll be significantly worse in any wind at all than even the shitty 52-55gr bullets and have less "splat factor" if you care about that since they are slower

they're a waste of time and really limit your capability, 10 seconds with a ballistic calculator would tell you this. I mean go for it if you want to select functionally the worst possible bullet for the cartridge


e: a 53gr vmax at 3200fps overtakes the 35gr at 4000fps at about 115 meters
