Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Powder choices for a short 223.

So Schmuck....

a young scout just was given a Ruger American in 223 for making eagle scout by his proud family....have loaded him up 500 rounds of ammo to shoot the sage rats on his property.. but he wants to go after deer with it this season....

so since you are the self proclaimed 75 grain 223 guru, should we load him up some 75 grain A Maxes, or some 75 grain BTHPs....

they will be fueled with RL 15 or AR Comp....

Thanks for your 2 cents, for helping out a young Boy Scout...
