    Hunting & Fishing Varminting with .22cal 80 grain Berger VLD's

    I am about to start load development for my new custom .223AI, my preferred bullets are the Berger 80 grain VLD's and 75 grain A-Max.

    *** Help Please !!! ***

    Been playing today with the JMB Bullet stabilisation calculator to try to establish which bullets will give me the best results in my new rifle. Obviously the best thing to do would be to buy all different types of bullets and try them all. This however would probably cost me £100's, take days...

    Hunting & Fishing Nice evening on the farm hunting.

    Re: Nice evening on the farm hunting. Its from the English Midlands. Its a Muntjac which is a deer introduced in the 1920's. Since which time it has really taken a foothold in the UK and is now so prevalent that there is an all year round open season on them. They taste really good too.

    What will a 1 in 8 twist stabilize in .223.

    Re: What will a 1 in 8 twist stabilize in .223. What powders do you recommend with the 75 grain Amax ??? Was thinking of AA2520 or TAC. Was a little concerned using Varget as it burns a lot hotter so barrel wear will be higher. What do you think ???
