Loads for 223 1 in 9 16 inch with 60gr VMAX

Re: Loads for 223 1 in 9 16 inch with 60gr VMAX

I've used these bullets in my Bushmaster with your same length and twist. The power charge was 26.0 grains of 748.

This load was quite accurate out of my rig.

Same load here. This was a 20" BushMaster 1-9". Never shot it past 200yds but averaged a tad over 1" for 5 shots. Never over 1.5".
