I finally got the necessary supplies and components to load my own .223 rounds, I tend to favour lightweight plinking loads in all my reloads, just more fun to shoot and keeps the noise down....
Remington SR Benchrest primer, Federal .223 case, 8.9 grains of Trailboss, and a 36 GN HBFB Barnes Varmint Grenade bullet
I'm hoping this round will have enough energy to work the action, but if not, no big deal, I'll just rack the charging handle for the next round
I'm hoping for a bit more power than .22 Mag and a lot less muzzle report than full power .223/5.56
