I finally have my 1:9 twist .223AI back together and am looking at working up some loads with 75gr Amax and 65gr Gamekings. I have the following powders on hand H335, Varget, H4895, TAC, RL15, RL17 I hear good things about RL15 and the 75gr Amax, just looking for a good starting point. Thanks.

With the 75A-Max and assuming nekked. 24grs of '335,in R/P hulls,kissing the 75 A-Max and 400's in the hole...will getcha going in FORMED cases. I've shot every powder you mention in my 223AI's,'335 remains KING..........

Here are the results of the first round of loads. I did not have any pressure signs with any of these and will do a little adjusting before next time. Temp 38-43 rain light to heavy It seemed like Varget was the better powder today but I have more work to do.

Well, I made it back to the range today and despite the cold and heavy snow I am pleased with the results. It seems I found my load. The crono in the snow was a no go so I will have to get some more data next trip.

I wish Varget were GREAT,as it costs less than alotta stuff that works far better...but that ain't how it goes. In fairness,here's a recovered 233AI/'335 fueled/3400fps launched 62TSX,fished from a very dead Buck at the 200yd line,via Montucky. Hint................

I'd take Dupont's '4895 as a "stand by",over Varget...though it don't meter as well.
I like my 53X's at 3550fps+ in a 21" 223AI and '335 of course is that fuel...................

Mines a 22 incher and as stated, Im getting 3401 with the 53s and 4895... Have not tried 335.....might hafta pilfer some.....
Been trying to do the non-loony thing and limit my number of powders..I suck at it, so I might as well pony up on some 335...

I may be a little slow, but do you find the H335 is good for light, heavy or all bullets in the 223AI? I had good luck with it and 40gr BT.

I like it for everything 62gr and under. I run RL15 for the heavies, not that I couldn't run 335 there also. Most of my 75gr shooting is for fun during spring-summer and it gets stupid hot down here, so I go RL15.
Now with even more aplomb

9" is a bubble 75A-Max twist rate and stabilization is an RPM issue. Some PSS's were 12" too. For conversation,my Factory barreled 223 LTR punched 223AI(75's at 3100fps,which is an RPM increase,over where you are at),is wickedly accurate with the 75A-Max. Nearest rifle...............

I have the following powders on hand H335, Varget, H4895, TAC, RL15, RL17 I hear good things about RL15 and the 75gr Amax, just looking for a good starting point. Thanks. With the 75A-Max and assuming nekked. 24grs of '335,in R/P hulls,kissing the 75 A-Max and 400's in the hole...will getcha going in FORMED cases.

just running '335 through the powder measure will get you to reconsider things. When you've been anally weighing stick powder down to the kernel for match loads, charging a tray of .223AI W/ '335 out of the old Uniflow might could make you scratch your head, and reconsider your ways. Did me.

Likely good with AI too...

TAC worked well in two of the 223 AI's in my steel closet. Probably could bump the velocity a touch more as well.
NOT a dirty powder either....a side benefit??!!

My present 223AI prefers H335 with the 50 grainers. It kicks TAC's ass with that weight.
But TAC wins with the 75 A-Max. RL15 second, and H335 third.
If I had to choose one powder, H335.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

The guys at ramshot gave me 23.9 as the max TAC load for 223ai/75amax. Does that sound right to y'all?
I don't have a chrony, but groups aren't looking too bad. Can anyone give me an idea of what kind of velocity I should be looking at with that combo?
If this is a stupid question and you're getting ready to jump my ass, realize that I'm pretty new to reloading and very new to AI stuff, so please suck it.

I'm trying to remember what powder I'm pushing the 62gr TSX and 64gr PP with. Now I remember H335

I'd get more '335 if I were you Ingwe, as it also works well in the 6mm223 and I know you'll be doing one of those soon enough...

Exactly how fast will H335 push a 75g A-max from an Ackleyfied .223? To add to that, what power charges are you guys using for different bullet weights? I am going to be working up some loads and would like to start out in the ball park.

Guy who wants the data for TAC and 75 Amax, PM and I will get my data for you. I will forget where you posted otherwise. I run the moly'd only, and that's what my data will be from.
I am running RL-15 for my moly'd 75 Amaxes as well. Right near Scott's load 26.2-26.4ish. Think I swapped to 450mag primers though
Please God, give me some good tags this year....

My LTR and Montucky setbacks,will digest more powder at like COAL,than my Custom tubes...which is a constant no matter the chambering.
When feeding all,you gotta load to the snuggest bug in the rug..............

I finally had good enough weather to make it back for a range day. I ran some loads with H335 and the 75gr Amax and am pleased with the results. 30F cloudy, still. 223AI Savage H335 75gr Amax 2.455 (.005 off lands) Target number 2 was a five shot group, three looked good so I pressed my luck and it turned out ok. 26gr is too hot and the bolt lift was a little sticky. I had similar results with RL15 so I am going to run both over the chrono when it gets here to see which load gives better velocity.

I ran several loads over the chrono with 10 shot strings this weekend.
22" 1:9 Stock Savage barrel rechambered. COL wih 75gr Amax 2.460" CCI 450 primers Win or WCC case (neck sized)
26.2gr RL15 Vel = 3000 average SD = 27.67 ES = 71 .75" 10 shot group
26.4gr RL15 Vel = 3025 ave SD = 14.2 ES = 33 Gave the best velocity an the most consistant 10 shot group. 7 shots in a ragged hole and three fliers about 1/2" off, could have been me and the numb fingers from the cold. I am going to use this load for my long range experimentation and recheck this summer.
25.2gr H335 Vel = 2950 ave SD = 47.15 ES = 128 This was a very accurate group during load development. With the cold -2F temperatures it was all over the place.
25.4gr H335 Vel = 2995 ave SD = 26.44 ES = 60 Shot well, 6 in a ragged hole and 4 within a .65" circle.

SO,
I'm drinking the Koolaid and buying a 223AI. Placing my first order for H335. I'm thinking that makes me a faster learner than the Great Poobah???
