60gr vmax 223 load

[Death Dealer]

23.6 grs of IMR 8208XBR with 60gr V-Max and Fed. Gold Metal Match AR primers. Nosler brass

Might also try H4895. Running 25gr in my bolt gun and shoots great. Got better velocities than Varget in my gun.

That's my recipe too

 

[Powerfisher]

24gr Benchmark pushing a 60gr Vmax. 1:9TR

 

[harleypredator]

Benchmark or H335 - 60gr Vmax through RRA Predator Pursuit 20" SS

 

[kiddjr]

24.3gr Benchmark, Winchester brass, Rem 7-1/2 or CCI450 primers pushing a 60gr Nosler BT out of a 20" 1-8.

 

[ackleyman]

start with 25.0g of Varget and work up with a thick cup primer.

I had good luck with imr 4895 in a single shot 223 and 60 grainers

 

[dvdegeorge]

24.5 gr TAC

 

[Smokeless]

RL- 10x is working well for me with the 60gr. V-Max

 

[tack]

I like a max charge 26 g of H4895!

 

[Nordy]

I stumbled on this older post looking for some guidance. I had the best groups with a max load of h4895 26.0 gr. But also had a flattened primer some what. Lowered it to 24.3 and had similar groups with no pressure signs.

I use imr 8208 xbr with 60gr vmax

 

[dennyd]

24.5 grs of IMR 4320 will shoot tiny little groups with the 60 v-max and 62 gr varmagidden.

 

[1320racing]

I load 25.8grs of Winchester 748 for all my 60gr bullets. Vmax, NBT and Hornady soft points. Shoots excellent out of my 223's. Best so far has been 2984 fps with NBT. Out of a 20" barrel. Old thread but good load data for a popular bullet choice. Good luck.

oldy but a goody

I thought 8207xbr was geared more toward the heavies. What sort of speed are you getting?

8208xbr performs fantastic on medium and light for caliber bullets. Right now I'm running 34gr NBTLF and 40gr Vmax in my 223s with it. I load it with 55gr NBT in my 243. 8208xbr is good stuff.

I know that it meters quite well. Not like H335, but still better than Varget, fo sho.
