I got some 65 grain Sierra gameking bullets that I would like to try in my 223 wssm to shoot deer/hogs. (This is the only gun I have that my wife is comfortable shooting, the 7 mag is too much for her. So please don't hate me in choice of calibers for a deer gun. I will be with her at all times to ensure shot placement/distance). Anyway, I can't find any load data for that bullet weight in that caliber. I have looked all over and the best I have come up with is data for 63 grain bullets and 68 grain bullets. Where should I start? I am planning on using Varget or H4895. My thinking is for varget 63 gr. bullet is says 34-39.3 grains and 68 grain bullet 33.1-39.3, if I stay between 34 and 39.3 grains of powder I should be alright. H4895 63 gr. bullet 32.9-37.5, 68 gr. bullet 34.5-36.8 grain powder, I would load 34.5-36.8 grains powder. What would you recommend?
