Barnes Info Needed

Can anyone give me workup loads for VLC 50 & 40 GR. I will be using Win 748, IMR 4895 or H-335. This is for a Win Mod 70 Heavy BBL 223. Thanks.

Ricochet :

Never trust data obtained from the net, typos are possible. Confirm all data from several sources of published literature. These are for generic 40 & 50 loads, not specifically Barnes. My personal choice would be BLC-2 in both weights.

40 grain
W-748... start at 26.0 grains to 30.0 max
IMR-4895... start 23.0 grains to 27.0 max
H-335... start 24.3 grains to 28.5 max

50 grain
W-748... start 24.5 grains to 30.0 max
IMR-4895... start 23.0 grains to 27.0 max
H-335... start 21.8 grains to 28.0 max

Regards, Shoney

I was hoping I would not have use the net. But with the Barnes manual being held I have no choice. Thanks
