H322 or BenchMark?

[mdesign]

Anyone using H322 or BenchMark in your .233? I was thinking about using one of them for a hunting load in my AR with 69gr SMK. Bullets would have to be seated for mag feed.

I plan on trying Benchmark with 69gr bullets pretty soon, I use Benchmark with 50 and 55 grain bullets and its great but I think Varget might fit the bill better with the heavier pills.

Thanks,
Ron

I'm using Benchmark in a 22BR shooting 80's... Its a little fast for heavy bullets but my Lilja barrel seems to love it... Shot it in one 600 yrd match and shot a 1.6" and a 2" something for the 1st 2 targets. Temp sored and groups got big.

Anyway, I'd definately try it.

I use 322 with 55's, 75,'s and 80's. I like it.

I haven't even tuned my Varget load for 77gr SMK's. 21.8gr Benchmark has been doing well 20" barrel. I need to chrony it though.

Thanks - when you load the heavier bullets to mag length, it seems like the loads all become compressed when using Varget or RL-15 so I was thinking a faster powder might be in order.

Just looking for insight as I have not loaded for an AR before.

I stand corrected! 23.5 not 25.5! O ya and thats why I roll with 30 round mags.... More lead to through down range!!!!

.
As long as the warning shot causes bodily functions to cease and "warns" others of what is to come. Should they be foolish enough to stand in range.
