223 loads for varmints

[corbin9191]

Hey guy's, I am just wondering what your favorite loads are for varmints for the 223 rem. I am getting the dies next week and the other reloading stuff. I just need to know what powder and bullets to get. Thank you!

50gr V-max, 24gr H322
3125FPS/20" AR-15 barrel
Not the fastest but is very accurate in most 223 I've tried it in including all my AR's

I've whacked some stuff with Ballistic Tips, 50 and 55 grain, with BL-C2 and H335. A few critters with V-Maxes, too. Ramshot TAC is gonna get a look-see, soon.

I like the 50-grain V-Max and 50-grain Ballistic Tip over a max charge of Benchmark.

Both of mine are awesome with 25.0grs H4895 and anything that weighs 55grs

Thank you for the loads guy's! I have another question, how would H Varget do with the 55 grain bullets? I have been searching and people are saying that Varget is a great powder for it as well.

It can be used, It's on the slow side so you'll be using a compressed load with any 223/varget combo.
I've used Varget with a 60gr V-max and 68 BTHP match bullets with great success.
What type of rifle and what's the twist rate?

The rifle is a DPMS AR 15 with 16 inch barrel and 1 in 9 twist
