accuracy load .223 for 100-300 yds
I shoot in mainly 100 and also some 300 yd matches, using a JP Entrprises Grade II upper with a 1:9 twist bbl. My handloads have been - Win brass, Win S R primers, Hornady 55grV-Max moly flat base bullets, and 26.0gr IMR4895 powder(I'v still got 8lbs left). The load cronos out at 3150fps with a SD of 15-17fps. Off the bench I'm gettng 3/4>1" groups. Lately I have noticed the primers flatening quite a bit but no primer flow or primer protrusion. I am thinking about decreasing the powder to maybe 24.0 but I'm not sure? Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm not too keen on changing powder yet, although I could use the 4895 for my "06 or the 8x57 JS??? THANX for the help, Sneaky
