Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Who has worked up loads using Titegroup in 223?

I did this a few years ago, but I am 2000 miles away from my load notes. Who has done it? I'm wondering what the upper-end-pressure charges with 55gr bullets are. Getting set to load up some plinkers.

Titegroup no........

Bluedot yes..........thx Seafire

I know, I really don't know ANYTHING about reloading whatsoever...

but just for grins and giggles... you might want to check out Hodgdon's web site

I have tried that load and its fun. .......titegroup load......but a tad more though.....for giggles...

I tried a 35 grain Varmint nighmare hollow point from Midsouth.....worked just fine.... hollow point did not expand

a little more powder due to the light bullet....my load was 4.3 grains....out of a 20" sporter

its hell on rats

as always work up slow and watch for pressure....
