    Well my quest for a decent 223 deer load didn’t go so well today , started of at 24g charge of benchmark 2 , fed primers & Barnes ttsx 50g flat base , after the first couple of shots I realised I’d be lucky to get 5 rounds to hit a A4 at 100y lol , but sure enough as I worked along upping the charge it did improve a little , best group was around 2 inches , can’t see any pressure signs so mite do 5 rounds at 26.5 if that dosnt work I mite have to look at a different projectile , suppose I could try more jump ? , my OAL touching the lands is 56.66 so I backed the projectile off to 56.37 . Any suggestions?
