So I loaded up the 34gr bullets with 21gr of H335. The bullets grouped within an inch at 50yds with almost zero recoil. I had to open up my adjustable gas block by half a turn so the rifle could cycle.
My spare 3 gun rifle with a fixed adjustable gas block would not cycle the rifle. Overall I’m impressed with the lack of recoil of the round. I will definitely use this round in 3 gun matches for bay stages. Next step is to Chrono the round.
Does any have any starting load for .223 34 gr Nosler bullets? I got a good deal on the bullets and I'm looking to reload for bay type 3 gun stages.
There is plenty of load info for prairiedog hunting with high velocity, but I'm trying the velocity bring it down a little.
I primarily use H335 or TAC. Any info would be appreciated.
If you like to use Varget, you can polish the inside of your powder measure and it should provide more consistency. I tried it using with RL-15 and it increased consistency to acceptable levels on my 550.
