My girlfriend will be picking up a bolt action rifle in .223. What are some loads that would work well?
I have some Hornady 68gr Match HPBT, but I am having a hell of a time getting consistent COAL out of these (even with the brass all measured to the same length). I was getting between 2.24-2.26, which is a lot af variation.
I am thinking of getting some Sierra 69gr MK. I have been very impressed with the Sierra's for my .30-06. Are these pretty good choices for bullets?
Her primary use will be target shooting from 100-300 yards. Rifle is a Savage Edge with 1 in 9" barrel. Thanks.
