Just trying to make up my mind. I have 141 projectiles left from a while ago. I never found a load I liked. They are Hornady 55 grain 0.224 soft points without a cannelure #2265.
I was thinking of making a reduced load down in the 2500 fps range. I have Tactical Rifle loads that push 55 grain FMJ bullets in that range reliably, particularly in my 20” upper.
The other alternative is to push them to normal velocity. For this, I’d try Tactical Rifle, Match Rifle, or CFE 223. I don’t really have a purpose in mind except maybe ground hog or coyote control. Any ideas why one power level might be preferred?
