I've had good results with 40grn Vmaxes moving at warp speed from my 1:9 twist 223Rem. 3/4 inch 10shot groups and these weren't the most carefully loaded rounds, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke I shot four 10 shot groups. 6-7 shots would go through such an incredibly small hole while the others were responsible for pushing out to 3/4 inch, gonna remember to tweak this load further when I get back to it.

The powder used was AA2015BR and it was definitely a load I would consider hot as it was just below max. Work up to it if fly weight bullets in the 223Rem is your thing. I'm gonna be playing around with the 40grn BlitzKings next with AA2015, I've had good results with them before but I wasn't using the same powder as I was with the Vmaxes.
