223Rem 9 twist 73gr eld-m - 05/11/22
Anyone have any experience with the 73 gr eld-m in a short (18”) 9 twist barrel?
I haven’t fired or started handloading for this rifle yet and just wondering how heavy I can reasonably expect good results with this 18” barrel.
I’ll be using this mostly for targets out to 550 yds and possibly some pred hunting.
I already have 75gr and 80gr eld-m on hand from a different rifle, but I think they would too heavy/long.
The 73gr eld-m are available locally so I could easily get them. If I stick with 55-69gr then I’ll have to try and find some. I just want to avoid wasting time and components by getting other peoples experience. Thanks.
