So. Oregon
I finally have my 1:9 twist .223AI back together and am looking at working up some loads with 75gr Amax and 65gr Gamekings. I have the following powders on hand H335, Varget, H4895, TAC, RL15, RL17 I hear good things about RL15 and the 75gr Amax, just looking for a good starting point. Thanks.

Here are the results of the first round of loads. I did not have any pressure signs with any of these and will do a little adjusting before next time.

Temp 38-43 rain light to heavy

It seemed like Varget was the better powder today but I have more work to do.

Well, I made it back to the range today and despite the cold and heavy snow I am pleased with the results. Lots of guys were reccomending 26.2 of RL15 with the 75gr Amax.....It seems I found my load.

The crono in the snow was a no go so I will have to get some more data next trip.
