RiflemanZDoes anyone load win 64gr pp bullets for the .223?
Does anyone here load for the .223 win 64gr pp bullets?I loaded some with 2015 powder and wanted to know what powder worked the best for you in your AR.

"Does anyone here load for the .223 win 64gr pp bullets?"
I use 26.5 gr of AA2460 in LC cases with Rem 7 1/2 primers. They run right at 3000 fps out of my Colt Comp AR. I only load 5 rounds at a time in the mag as the points get pretty beat up with more than that. Accuracy for the 5 shots is 1 1/4 MOA, decent accuracy but not the best the rifle does.

kududeI thought that the win bullet was 63 grains. I had good results with H4895. About 25 grains if memory serves, but I'd check that out before you blow yourself up. This load was very accurate, but somewhat of a pain to load because of the extruded powder. Kudude

Lowrider 49Winchester is 64 gr power point, Sierra is a 63 gr semi-pointed....never weighed either so I donn't know if they are lying.
Both work really well with IMR 4895 too in a 1 in 12" or faster.
