Long Range .223

I was hoping for loaded ammo. I have access to a press if I had to, but I'd have to get primers and powder. Didn't want to go through the hassle since I'm just doing testing.

ProFire had some Hornady Match 68 gr BTHP a while back. My 1:9 Savage LRPV loves 'em.

DRob is talking about 2 boxes of Hornady Match Ammo that is sitting on the clearance shelf at Profire. It's exactly what you're looking for CP.

UPDATE

Profire's doing a ladder load of 69gr for me. I'll post some grouping pics whenever the weather breaks and I can get to the range.

what powder are you using in the LRPV?

Talk about late returning! It only took me three weeks to reply, RSW. Sorry about that.

The Hornady match stuff I was talking about is factory ammo but I load a fair amount of .223 which is used in two Savages (including the LRPV), an AR, and a Howa 1500. I am currently using AA 2230 in all of them.
