Hey guys needing a little help/suggestions on some loads for my 24” 1-7 twist .223 ar... bought it and didn’t pay attention to the twist when I purchased it. I like having the ability to shoot the heavy bullets but I got it for coyotes and bob cats so want to shoot 55-60 grains. Atm I’ve loaded up the following. But am worried the fast twist and long barrel might be to much for at least 1moa minimum.
Hornady v-max 55g
Cci military primers
H335 23-25 grain increasing .5 grains till max of 25 gains(testing 24.5 and 25g today)
Coal 2.265
Sierra varmit hp 60g
Cci military primers
H335 23-25g(testing my 23, 23.5, 24 today)
Coal 2.265
I’m wanting to give noslers ballistic silver tip varmits in 55g a try as well since it’s not a flat base, does anyone have any experience with them in this fast of twist? Looking for any suggestions on loads I should give a try as well as any 5-10 round mags that will allow me to seat the bullet a little farther out. Thanks for the help guys!
