Thread: 223 on deer

Well that was easy. Reading on here and doing a bit of research (despite ADIs weird load data where they have max load at 22.6gr with the 73 and then a much higher max load with a 75gr..?) I pretty much decided I was going to run out of room in the case with 2206h and the 73 at mag length in a tikka before I had any major pressure issues so I tipped 25 grains into 5 cases and went and shot them hoping id get 2850. They shot well enough too considering they were the 6th-10th shots through the rifle (I had sighted it in the other day with some 55gr Belmont) loaded up 5 more and put 3 onto the 4" 325yd gong and 2 onto the 10" 510yd gong. Guess ill have to go shoot a deer with it now.
