Loads for 223 WSSM Browning?
I posted this on the reloading board but nobody answered. Has anyone worked up an accurate load for this gun or caliber? If so would you please share the info, Thanks, H.H.

There is an article in Varmint Hunter Magazine by Steve Timm with quite a bit of load data. These are some of the best loads in his Browning rifle:

50 gr. nosler BT over 44 grains of Varget (.68" and 4067 fps)
55 gr. Vmax over 48 gr. Hunter (0.84" and 3669 fps)
52 gr. Sierra HPBT over 41 gr. of H4895 (0.78" and 3960 fps)


The usual disclaimers apply, not responsible for typo's, verify all data, safe in that rifle, yada, yada, yada.

It's the new Western Powders / Ramshot powder. Supposed to be around I4350, temp stable, clean burning, easy metering, ball powder. "The latest, greatest". Haven't used it myself yet. HTH, Dutch.
