Talked to Swift yesterday. Said the new manual with data for the 223 will be out in 8 months. I asked what powders they had tested they said they had not tested the 223 at all and were going to in a month.
I know some of you guys shoot this one. I'm shooting a rebarelled 21 1/2", Rem 700. The new barell is a 1 in 7" twist. I've got loads for 75 grain amax using reloader 15 and Rem 7 1/2 BR primers, with lapua and nosler brass. Will be using some winchester brass too. My OAL on those is 2.450.
Any good load info for the 223 75 grain scirocco II would be appreciated.
They actually told me to do whatever I was doing for the a max and look for pressure signs! Said those bullets seem to like a good bit of jump from what they are hearing from customers. I'm not to big on that idea considering the shape of the bullet is totally different.
