I need reloading information for .223 using a Sierra 45gr Spitzer bullet with Hodgden H335 powder.

Thanks,

    Rugerniner,

    My '78 says what Tailgunner's says and that is with an AR15 rifle.

    My new one says 24.8-28.3 in a bolt gun and 25.6-27.7 in an AR15

    This load I'll be shooting out of a Ruger M77 MarkII Rifle for accuracy.
    I guess 26.5 wouldn't be a bad place to start.
    We all know Rugers are over built. [:D] [:D] [8D]

    Unless somebody has a suggestion?

    [8D]--My Sierra info say's just what tailgunner says-25.7/27.9gr of H335--

    --However their ACCURACY load is 24.5 gr of IMR-3031 at 3200 fps--

    --Their hunting load is 25.7 gr of H322 at 3300 fps-

    --However their test data is with a Colt AR15A2 HBAR bbl length 20"/1-7 twist--

    My Sierra edition V shows both Bolt and AR rifle loads the Bolt loads are. For 45g with H335 test gun was a Rem 600 1x14" twist 24" long barrel.

    24.8g @3100fps min
    28.3g @3600fps max

    Accurcy load was 27.6 @3500fps with H335

    I realize most of this was stated above but I wanted to throw in the exact gun and the accuracy load. [;)]

    Rugerniner. I believe that I can email you the page if you want. I have the 4th edition on disk I can check if it is the same. Email me if you would like it.
