223 Rem 40 gr bst's

[mray_190]

Going to start working up a load and try out some 40gr. Ballistic Silver Tips in my 223 Rem. What are some of your pet loads for this bullet.

 

[Desert Fox]

25.5 grain of H335. Start with 24.5 and work-up.

My son shoots a Ruger M77VT (Heavy Barrel) 26" w/ 6.5X20 Simmons. 1/4" groups all day long. Destroys sage rats and rockchucks. Coyotes to 200 yards no problem. Best load is Win. brass, Fed 205 match primers, and 27.5 grains H335 followed closely by 28.0 grains W748.

I know several people who swear by Benchmark. We have not tried it.
