Thread: Frustrating arvo at the range. Powder charges.

ok so try 24.5grns and see how you go....there was a thread on here a year or so back...favourite loads for the 223 and the 24-26grns of 2206h was right up there at top it was interesting thread as so many folks settle on a load that is very similar....lots of different projectile choices,lots of different rifles... but that combo is very well used becuase it just works.

a young fella on forun was having issues shooting groups,I agreed to meet him at local riverbed,safe shooting spot...got him to fire a few subsonics through suppressor then prone with my .223.....right off the bat I spotted a piss poor form,got that sorted and he then fired 6 random rounds I HAD ON HAND.... no tw owere the same.....and at hundy yards they printed in 3/4" group....ummmmm what problem did you say you had????
so if my thrown together random loads go well enough....and my carefully ,all the same ones even better....I struggle with need for really making the .223 loading any harder than it needs to be..UNLESS you really want to compition shoot tiny wee groups,under an inch will be perfectly good enough for bunnies waay out there.
