I am using a 550 press with Dillon Dies except for the Lee crimp die and mixed Lake City/ Rem/ Fed Brass, a boat load of Fed and CCI sm rifle primers and PRIV 62gr bullets. I have loaded alot of 55gr that shot well boat couldnt get any data for the 62 gr. stuff. Does Any one have handloading data For a 62 gr .223 or any suggestions about the setup?
 
I like the Ramshot TAC powder, which goes on sale from time to time at right reasonable prices. 24 - 25 grains of that powder will propel your 62 grain bullets just fine, at least this is what the Ramshot website says. I've used that powder at 24.8 grains and had good results in mixed brass without any pressure signs.

YMMV.
 
Here's a couple I use with 62gr bulk fmj bullets...

W748 24.0gr - 25.0gr
H335 23.5gr - 25.0gr

Those are the same two I use. I'm very happy with those powders. Both meter very good in my measure.

Get a manual. Search for online data provided by the powder companies. Then get back with us.


H335, W 748, and TAC are all good suggestions.
