223 Rem 73gr Berger loads

I have only used that bullet with Benchmark, it was quite accurate in every rifle I worked up loads for. It was just a bit more expensive than the 77 grain Sierra though.

varget did the best for me but I still wasn't to happy with the group size. I havent had to much luck with the 73gr berger bullet in any 223 rem that I have.
 
Brant,
Did you have any luck with any of the heavier bullets? I am looking for something heavier than the 55gr for wolves. I have a 1/8 twist. I had good luck with MK in 75grs and was looking to try the Bergers. Thanks.
 
I've switched to 69gr nosler custom competition. Their shoot sub MOA groups and I havent had any problems with them on coyotes yet.
