found this and it was very helpful for me so I thought I would pass it along
223 load data for gas operated guns

Awesome, thanks Cory.

Thanks for the link. I have had great luck with Sierra bullets.

Nice link. Anybody here use TAC powder in for their AR loads?

No, but I want to try it. Strosfan was trying to get a group but together to get it for 12.99 a pound. I have read good things about it.

TAC works well for the AR platform.

Not much data for Varget powder. I got some 65 gr Game Kings that I want to load up...

Gummi, I am working on that exact load right now. Here is the link for Sierra bolt gun chart. http://accurateshooter.net/Downloads/sierra223rembolt.pdf.
For some reason Sierra has the load info for varget with the bolt guns. Let me know how your loads work out.

That's some good stuff.

Thanks, dsniper; I'll keep ya posted.

For Hogdon Varget I've been using this for my 69gr.;
69 GR. SIE HPBT Varget 2.235 ( MAX L. ) 26.0 gr ( slightly compressed ) CRON- 3099fps ( 5 shot average )

THIS MAX!!!! WORK UP IN YOUR GUN!!!

mine- 20" DPMS stainless bull barrel.

I've made some greta loads with the heavier .224 bullets with RL15. They are dynamite and extremely consistent.

25.4 gr RL15
Nosler 69 gr Custom Comp
Lake City brass
CCI 400 primer
OAL 2.26

24.5 gr RL15
Barnes 70 gr TSX
lake City Brass
CCI 400
OAL 2.26

24 gr RL15
Hornady 75 gr BTHP
lake City Brass
CCI 400
OAL 2.26

So I guess your shooting these out of 1:7 twist? Might be some handy info for me to write down!

My heavy bullet AR is a 1:8 twist with a 5.56 NATO chamber.

I also have a 24" 1:9 NATO that does well with everything up to my 69 grain match loads. I doubt it will stabilize the Barnes 70 grainer. I haven't tried it, it has a longer profile than the 69 and 75 grain match bullets.

I have a 1:10 ultramatch .223 chamber that just eats 45-60 grain bullets. It shoots bugholes with moly coated 50 grain TNTs loaded with 25.4 grains of H322 and a CCI400. This one clocks 3250 in my 20" 1:10 and 3370 in my 24" 1:9. I also have a load with moly coated 55 gr Winchester soft points that group well with 24.7 grains of H322.

Due to the high volume of shooting, the 1:9 and 1:10 are designated moly guns. I like not having to scrub copper after a long day of shooting. The 1:8 is firing bare copper for now.

That's a hot load for sure. Why is 2.235 your max length? The mag can take that bullet at 2.26 pretty easily.

Ramshot TAC? It's actually 12.99 a kilo at Midway.usa. I am thinking of putting in an order for 10kg which is the maximum they will sell of it.

That is a great price on some really good .223 powder.

If anyone wants a pound, I can sell a can or two from my lot. With all the hazard fees and shipping it comes to around $17 I think per pound. DFW only.
