Anyone have any pet 223 loads with blc-2? I have a few pds, and i'm going to load some sierra 63 gr's up to kill a few does. The only load i've found like this calls for 26 grs. At 3050fps i assume thats a book max load ?
grovey,
The Sierra 4th Edition Manual shows the following:
Bullet = 63gr Sierra Semi-Pointed
Test gun = Colt HBAR AR-15 with 20" bbl (1x7" twist).
Remington case.
Remington 7 1/2 primer.
BL-C 2 powder:
Starting load = 22.6gr for 2600 fps.
Maximum load = 25.6gr for 2900 fps.
Your bolt gun probably has a longer barrel and should get better velocities if it does.
Good Luck,
-Ted
