Looked through the other thread on this bullet, My question is what are you "pure" .223 shooters loading for this bullet. NO .223AI's or 22-.250's

I just bought a box to play with in my R5 20" .223. Might be a great "reasonable" range "Texas" whitetail round.

Specific recipes please, I have many suitable powders.

what's a R5? ... 5R?

R15 maybe?

It's the newer version of the R4.

I'm telling you knobs...the 64 Nosler Bonded is the wave of the future!

Having read the articles and threads about bonded bullet technology for larger calibers I settled on the AccuBond for my needs. When I saw the previous thread my interest in the 64 Nosler Bonded increased. My concern was that they might not do so well out of my .223 1/12 twist. I am going to start my load work with Varget as it worked well with with 55's out of this rifle.

1 in 12 twist....note yardage...

Noted, how about elevation....

Ingwe,

Will they run in a 1 in 12 standard 223? Has anyone tried it yet?

Dink

He said they worked in his 1-14" twist 22/250, so they should work in a 223.

Umm, shouldn't that read 183 meters, Monseiur Metric?



Waiting for SPS to get some more in so I can try 'em in a properly twisted tube...

Yes Sir. Caught that info in the first thread and you made my day.

Dunno Scott...those were shot at my high elev. range......hope they dont do what the .22-250s did to me and JB when he shot them down the hill at his place...

It is a short fat bullet, so my fingers are crossed...

any plain old .223 shooters try these> 9 twist. I guess I will be the first to test, if I ever get to shoot the dang thing

You misspellled knoobs or is it noobs?

I hope they are. Have some PP and am waiting on a shipment of 64 Noselers.

it's boobs

These Noslers 64's could as well be "The Way Of The Future"

I don't see how they will trump a Barnes.

Cost and likely velocity due to less bullet sticking into the case

I always figured cost was the best indicator of bullet performance, laffin

A B.C. of a brick has got to help also. I don't buy the velocity either, Barnes push fast easy.

B.C. is better than a brick, but not as good as a football I dont shoot at important stuff with the cf .22s past 300 yds. no thats no biggie.

Speeed wise I had a couple anomalies with lighter Barnes, and had to ask JB. Seems the lighter ones have very little bearing surface, meaning less pressure, meaning less velocity ( In some rifles...) My .223AI was only getting 3200 out of the 50 TTSX whilst the same rifles gets 3500 out of a 55 gr. Horn..( 3100 out of the 64 grainer Nosler)
That said, my .22-250 clocks the lighter Barnes just about right...
I gotta try some Barnes 62s....

62TSX is where I start with them.

Easy to up the pressure with more powder.

I tried upping the pressure on the 50s with more powder...no bueno...

Im thinking 62s will be the answer to my prayers....

Nothing a good 3 groove 8 twist tube can't cure.

I'm maxing out in the 3100's with the 64 BSB and the 62 TSX out of my Montana. Granted, just a 9 twist vanilla 223. Accuracy has been far from stellar with both. I've been focusing on TAC, but may try some different powders today.

thanks short actionsmoker, i'll start my test with TAC you giving it 25gr?

You guy's are bringing back my doubts about the compatibility of my 12 twist Remington 700 .223 with these bullets. Time will tell when I can get to the bench.

25 of TAC was the best for far.

I tried H4895 and Varget this afternoon. Nothing stellar there either. So far this rifle with any bullet is an 1 1/4" shooter. Not really what I want in a 223...

Is the rifle bedded and free floated?

Yes and yes...

Now for sale in the classifieds...

I agree, if I can't get anything better in my 5R, I'll scrap the bullet.

Your 5R will shoot just fine.
