Started loading .223 with a friend recently. Based on searching posts here we decided to use H335 with some Nosler 50 gr SP's we got from RMR.
We worked up to a very accurate load at 25.8 grains of H335 with a Win Small Rifle primer. When we ran this load over my chrony we got 2965 ave. fps. The rifle is a Delton AR with 16" barrel and 9 twist.
My question is: What to you think of that velocity for that load? I was a bit disappointed. Do you think that's about where that load should be in that rifle? I know I should be happy given how accurate it is. Sometimes I admit I'm too concerned with velocity.
