What is the twist rate on your Remington 700? My .223 is in the AR platform with a 1:7 twist rate and does not shoot 55 grain very well at all no matter what charge rates and oal's I use. I stepped up to some slightly heavier 64gr and 65 gr and it is a tack driver with those weights.
PS- I never buy bullets in bulk until I've tested out different loads and am happy with the results. Then....I go crazy!
