I realize its no AI, but like bolt-ons, probably still fun to play with

Pass 223AI logistics,COAL and performance. Funnier than phugg to have Coke Bottles wax eloquent on slow-twisted Dumb Phuqqery as a "Trump Card"!

Those were Amaxes. Never tried them�they'll go into a .223AI
They're too good for the antiquated .222Mag.

My (1) .224" centerfire wouldn't be a slow-twisted Retard Rifle. I've seen me weigh logistics too...mainly because I shoot a smidge.

I'm looking into the .22-204.. It's way better than the .222 mag.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I keep thinking about the 20,000+ pcs of 223 brass I've got and how a 21" 1-8" 223AI flings 75A-Max at 3100fps+.
Mainly because I've ALL the t-shirts and have seen the other side of the fence.
Hint..................(grin)

Lol, looks like I fueled a debate. Thank you all for the load advice. I look forward to testing some of them out.

Plastikka for you.....and swirl it with Krylon.
50's with a plastic tip are about it in the Vixen mag box (like stick said, OAL). 40's work best in the magbox/land arrangement with that case and they'll run plenty fast.
