It's a relatively new powder, so it isn't in my Lee reloading manual and started looking up info from hodgdon's website.
States:
55gr Barnes TSX FB 2.180" (Min)24.7gr 3,065 44,600 PSI (Max)27.4gr 3,317 54,000 PSI
55gr SPR SP 2.200" (Min)26.0gr 3,133 43,300 PSI (Max)27.8gr 3,329 51,300 PSI
Which starting charge should I choose for a 55gr FMJ-BT?
I've heard people with good results from 25gr to 27.8gr
I'll be working mine up at .3 increments probably starting at 25.7 but just wondering if anyone has any favorite pet loads for CFE 223, would I miss any accuracy nodes by starting near 26?
I'll be shooting these from a 16" 1-7 twist barrel with CCI 400 SRP
Thanks!
