I'm trying to find the most accurate load for my Bolt rifle. I mostly shoot at 2-300 yds. and I don't hunt. So far I've tried 55 grain and 62 grain. My best loads have been with 62 grain bullets. I use Hornady bullets and AR Comp powder. I know there may be better bullets out there and chasing the best powder is something I don't want to do. I've got 8 lbs of AR Comp so I'm going to limit myself to that powder and Hornady bullets.
I recently bought some 68 grain match bullets to try. The Hornady manual doesn't list those for .223 Rem. but they do for .223 Service Rifle. I would assume that's a .223 Rem chamber (they state 1/9 twist) and they say they're an excellent choice for 2-300 yards.
Anyone have any experience with 68 grain match bullets in .223 chambers? I can't shoot 5.56 x 45 in that rifle. Well, I could but I don't want to.
