Folks ,
I'm wondering what weight bullets you use with this setup . So far the weather here in the NE hasn't cooperated with my shooting so I really haven't had a chance for a long session . I bought some Varget and CFE 223 along with 500 Sierra 69 Match bullets and 7 1/2 primers is anyone using these components ? How about light weight bullets say down to 55 or in between ? I was thinking the twist might be too fast for the cheap stuff .
Any help you can pass along is appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your time .

Nice thing about a 223 with a 1:7.7 to 1:8 twist...any bullet from 80 gr on down should shoot well.

None of the thin jacketed bullets will - too much spin from the twist rate - bullets will go poof!
 
I would try your 69 matchkings and about 24.5 to 25.3 grains of varget. Somewhere in between that seems to work for me and everyone i know.
