I need some load data for a 223 using a 52gr hollow point and Benchmark powder. I've got an older book and there is no data listed for that bullet. Thanks in advance!
I am running 24.9grs with a 52gr Berger HPV at 3270fps, and 24.7grs with the 52gr A-Max at 3260fps. Also Benchmark, Lapua brass and BR4 primers in a 24" barrel.
Have some 52gr CC's to load this summer. Tell us how it worked.
Are your 52 gr. HP's Nosler? 25.6 gr. of Benchmark (the powder you asked about) with Win brass and CCI 450's works for me. Total cartridge length 2.260". Not a max load, don't need it.

Hodgdon's website has more loads for Benchmark. Be careful with load info you get from individuals like me on internet forums!! :roll: :roll:
Im using 26g benchmark with 52g AMAX. Accuracy is 5 shots touching at 100 yards from a bench.velocity is 3400fps.rifle is a ruger target with 26" barrel.
