I am about to load some .223 rounds using Varget and Hornady 50 and 55 grain Vmaxs.
I have had great accuracy with 25 grains in the past but I want a little more velocity.
My question is how to approach a load beetween 27 and 27.5 grains. I can get the powder to fit
but have not tried to seat a bullet yet. It will definately be a compressed load, something I have never
done before. Are there potential pitfalls such as deforming the bullet during seating or bullet creep after load sits for awhile?
I have 8 pounds of Varget so the choice of powders is fixed. The bullets will be fired from a Remington 700.
Any suggetsting about loading .223 with 27 -27.5 of Varget and Hornady
50 and 55 grain Vmax would be welcomed!
