QL Needed for .223

[Kcs100]

Does anyone have experience with a powder/load for Nosler’s 64 gr. BSB? I have been experimenting with Varget and Benchmark with some success but am looking for other options?

.223
Nosler 64 gr BSB 38135
16 inch barrel
1:7 twist
COAL 2.175 inches

Thanks,

Kevin

I ve shot 25.5 grs of Varget and 24.5 grs of H4895 in a bolt gun with 65 gr Gameking at 2.210 OAL... both very accurate, sub-MOA and 3050 and 3000 fps respectfully. Work up to this charge.

Hopefully someone will run you a QL also.

It's an easy bullet to find a good load with several powders..I've had luck with Varget, 8208XBR, H335, and others..MY personal favorite has been TAC.
This is a 6 shot group of 25.5 of TAC @ 100 yards good group and respectable velocity. Mine is 20" 1:7.7 5R. Hoping to try CFE223
