I've owned a lot of rifles over the last 30+ years but I'm late to the game with the 223. That has been corrected and I just bought my first .223, a CZ 527 American with a 1-9" twist barrel. It is mostly going be a range gun for myself and my 8 year old daughter. It might see use for the odd coyote and it may well get used for my daughter to start deer hunting.

I know that many here love the .223 for a broad range of uses. I'd like to know what others would suggest as a single load for my intended uses. Any favourite load suggestions would be appreciated.
