Nosler 22-34gr Flat Base Hollow Point ?

[ronco]

I just bought 1000 of these and going to load them for my .223 in a Remington 700. Looking every where I can think of ( Nosler and powder companys ). I can't find any load data. Has anybody loaded these? I'm interested in the best powders and muzzle velocity. Just a starting load would be great and I can work from there.

Thanks Ron.

If you call Nosler, they can give you load data.

Id just use 35g Berger data and go from there.

Should hit close to 4000 for Max velocity.

I get 3800 with 40g vmax and 28g benchmark from my ruger target with 26"

Nosler 7 has data for them.

Thanks, I just ordered more bullets and a Nosler #7.

Let me know if there is something you want specifically...

The 223 case has a pretty short neck. When I seat the Nosler 40 grain BT to just a couple thou short of the lands, the bullet base is seated only about halfway into the neck. The 40gr'ers shoot OK, average about 3/4" groups. The Nosler 50BT, though, seats to the full length of the neck, and is the most accurate bullet I've tried in my Rem 700VS (quite a few groups in the .2s, .3s and .4s). Also, I could not see a difference on varmints between the 40 and 50 out to 200 yards, though the 50 does better at longer ranges (more accurate & better BC). BT

Or just use 40 gr data.
