I have a TC with a 16" barrel 223 cal.
I need a good hand load,i have plenty of win 760
powder.I have not chose a bullet yet.
Any Ideas on a good combo?
Thanks Reloaderlen

Len, What bullet weight do you want to use? 40-55gr., I'd use Benchmark, H322 and other powders in that burn range, You can save the 760 for a bigger cartridge like 22-250 or 243, Jay

Don't know if it'll do you any good or not but my load in my Encore 26 inch heavy barrel is a Hornady 40 Gr. V-Max over 27 Gr. of H335 for a c.o.l. of 2.278, so far it has delivered consistent 1/2 to 3/8 th of an inch groups at 100 yds. and yeilds an average of 3665 fps. H335 might have a pretty good blast out of the shorter barrel. Hope it helps.

I`m useing 25.5gr W748 under a 55gr Nosler BT in my 223 M70 HV..............very accurate

In exactly the same type of rifle, I'm using 27.5 grains of 748 and either Nosler Ballistic Tip or Hornady V-Max 40 grain bullets. Have enough groups from .5 to .7 to paper a wall.
