Favorite .223 bullet for reloading?

[gopwins]

What's your favorite .223 bullet for reloading?

 

[red_zr24x4]

Depends for what, AR range ammo? 55g FMJ
Prairie doggin? 60 gr V-Max for the bolt gun
Also depends on what powder Im using

Depends for what, AR range ammo? 55g FMJ

I haven't had much success with 55 FMJ on the range. You care to share your recipe? Im using an AR with 1:8 twist.

I voted for the 75 HPBT only because it is the bullet I load the most. In a 80 shot match, I shoot 66 rounds of 75 BTHP at 200 and 300 yards and 22 rounds of 75 AMAX at 600 yards.

Just the way it goes. No favorites, just the right bullet for the application.

I use these for plinking rounds for the AR's Bullets 22 Cal (224 Diameter) 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail

And

I use these for match grade stuff for my bench rest AR Match Bullets 22 Cal (224 Diameter) 68 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail Box of 100

Ive had very nice results with both of these, cant complain a bit

 

[Yeah]

If you can stabilize it and fit in in your mag the 75 AMax is the ticket.

I am about to go on an AR binge and the way to go there is the 62 TSX, for killing stuff anyway.

 

[Slapstick]

For general plinking 55gr Hornady FMJBT in both my Remington 700 and Mini's. For accuracy 53 gr Hornady HP match.

My Ar has a 1:9 twist
LC brass
Mil surplus primers(pulled from .30 carbine)
Surplus powder Wc844 is 24g and WC846 is 24.9
Bullets are surplus 55g FMJ pull downs seated to fit the mag

I've had good luck with AA2015 and 55 FMJ in my savage 10FP but I don't remember the charge weight.

My write in on the ballot is the 62gr SS109. I got a deal a few years ago and still have a couple thousand.

 

[45-70]

Hornady 55 grain spire points in bulk are my go-tos.

 

[mac45]

Probably shoot 55gr FMJ the most, but have been having good luck w/ the 52 gr HPBT lately, so that's what I picked.

 

[LongRangeBushy]

The poll is tainted.... lol
There isnt a 50 gr vmax style bullet listed.
They are very popular with the pd hunters and may win the poll ....

 

[U.S. Patriot]

62 grain FMJBT for range.

 

[Cat-Herder]

two variables: application and twist rate. no particular favorite given these two...

 

[angus6]

All I load is range plinkers and the ss109 and hornady 55gr fmj work great for that

 

[dtkw]

I use whatever I can afford without breaking my bank. I bought my last in a bulk package of 1,000 and they are all loaded. Remy 55 gr FMJ and I have 500 of the 62 gr hp as well.

 

[Haymaker]

I worked up some test loads last night using 55 gr. Sierra Blitzking.

 

[IndianaSlim]

69 gr sierra matchking out of my 1:8 twist AR platform. In front of varget. Excellent accuraccy out to 400 which is all I need for 3 gun.

 

[straight-shooter]

For general plinking 55gr Hornady FMJBT in both my Remington 700 and Mini's. For accuracy 53 gr Hornady HP match.

I voted 69gr matchkings because they can do anything you need done with a 223. You really start to pay more for the bullets once you get any heavier than the 69gr matchkings and that why they're my favorites.
