Plinking rounds for AR (.223) - 05/03/16 01:57 PM
Good morning all.
I have been reloading for about 6 months now and have only reloaded for my bolt action .308. I have worked up a few loads that are shooting half inch groups and having a lot of fun with it.
I have been processing .223 brass and ready to try some loads for that. I have only semi-auto rifles in .223 and right now just want to have a plinking load. I have a few boxes of 55 grain soft points. Do you guys still go through a load work up for this type of round? Is there a sweet load that everyone just knows about? I also have some 69gn BTHP's that I would like to work up a load for that is very accurate, at some point. Thanks for any input.
