10 gr Blue Dot 60 gr moly PP, CCI400, .223, Ruger #1, 2050 fps I had wind and a loose scope mount, so I only tried it at 50m: .7" 5 shot [me] .4" 3 shot [I had someone else shoot it] I stood back to listen for how loud it was. It sounded like a 22 rimfire long rifle 1200 fps 40 gr. When I put my headphones on, and the real 223 ammo started, it was louder than the Blue Dot loads with the headphones off! | ||

I have been experimenting with 5744 in my 223 and I like it but it doesn't group as well as I would like so I would like to try blue dot. However I do have some questions for the experienced. I have a large surplus of Nosler 55 grain BT and would like to use those, what do you think? Do you use a small rifle or pistol primer? And finally what is a good range of powder to start with? I greatly appreciate any and all responses. Thank you | |||

I think once I get my "normal" load developed, I may try this. I don't do allot of rapid shooting, but the noise reduction would definitely help around the area I live. What kind of noise reductions are we talking? 223 sounds like a 22LR? 22-250 sounds like a 22Mag? Also, what are the mins and maxes I should use if Blue Dot was used in both the 223 and 22-250? I saw different loads, but no real established range. Just want to stay safe... | |||
