I have just started to experiment with 75gr A-MAX in .223. So far I have been using Varget in Lapua match brass with CCI 400 primers. My 2 most accurate groups have been 0.885" with 24.0gr and 0.888" with 24.2gr - both 5 shot groups, but each with 2 cloverleaf sub-groups. OAL is 2.465".
Upon further testing with exactly the same loads the groupings have gone wild on me. The average 5 shot group spread is 1.885" for a total of 8 groups. The rifle is cleaned appropriately and all shots are taken from the same position.
Does anyone have any reliable recipes for the 75gr A-MAX, ideally with Varget, but otehrwiose with other powders? Thanks.
