I tried loading 23.5 and 24. The 24 grouped better at 100 meters. I am just using a 10.5 Noveske 1-7 twist barrel with an Aimpoint T1 optic. Hard to aim at that distance. Its a 68 grain Hornady BTHP. I don't know if I should go higher than 24. The bullet total height that I set was 57.15mm. Or 2.250 inches.

I have the same heads. Hornady 68 bthp. I am using a 10.5 1-7 twist noveske barrel. Do you have any suggestions? I am using N140 powder.

Those bullets had a cannular so I seated to that level and did not measure them. But if I had to guess 2.250. Pat Okay Sir. Thank you for your information.

Wonderful! What COL did you use in 24.6 load? I will check my Hornady heads tomorrow, because I am not sure if there is a difference between hornady 68 bthp and 68 hpbt match. I am not sure which one I have. I'm kinda new with rifle reloading issues. Usually I use factory loaded ammo. Not until my friend in the gun club invited me to play rifle with him. I am more of hand gun. But I see why he is so into it. Its fun! Thank you for your information.

Thank you Sir!

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I tried searching but I could not find anything like what you suggested. I am from the Philippines. Its .223/5.56 barrel by Noveske. I know the 68 grainer is little short for the 1-7 twist, but like I said. Its so hard to find good ammo here. Thank you again.

Hi! I need help regarding powder charge for the 68grain Hornady HPBT. I am surprised that this head is a bit longer than the 69 sierra's. The only powder I have is N140, in my country powder is so scarce. I hope someone can help me with the specs. Thanks
