I traded for a Weatherby Vanguard II chambered in 223 Rem. It has a 20 inch barrel with one in 9 twist.
What kind of factory ammo or reloads have anyone used?
I want to stick with 55 - 65 grain hunting rounds, but will definitely use the 69 Grain Sierra Matchking for plinking, etc.
I just don't know where to start velocity wise. I'd like to be able to go for Whitetails and below. I have always had great accuracy @ 2600 fps with the 69 Grain Sierra Matchking, but hate to limit the effective range of the great little gun and cartridge with that.
I plan to use and would like to stick with 748 and H-335 with Sierra Gamekings but am open to suggestion bullet wise. RE-15 is another possible powder, but would like to use finer ball powder in the little case, straight from the powder measure.
