First timer here with the AI....looking for a couple different powders to try with this combo and where to start. Plan on shooting up a bunch of Winchester factory stuff I have on hand to fireform then going to try and find a load that will work with the 62gr TSX. Thanks.

In my Rem 7 rifle with a 9 twist Shilen 24" barrel, I use the 62 grain Barnes TTSX bullet with Rem 9.5 primers, Win brass and 26.5 grains of Varget to get about 3050 fps and great accuracy. Smaller deer and antelope, where legal, do not like it.This particular barrel stabilizes up to 70 grain bullets with great accuracy but heavier bullets do not work well.

Varget or RE15 should work........'Rem 7.5 primers'

start at max 223 loads and work up in FF'd brass

I've been running a 223AI about 15 years now.....currently on 2nd barrel....

mine are used in portable table p/dog set ups.....not carry guns

9 twist...bullets are 53 V max & 55 NBT's & Benchmark..IMR 8208...H4895

QI have a couple of boxes. Of them but have not worked up a load yet, planning on trying them on wild hogs. I will be using my Ar build, it has a 24 inch Shaw match barrel with 1 in 8 twist, thinking of trying Rl15, Ar comp and A2520.

I have a brand new 1-8” PacNor barrel, CCI BR primers, Benchmark, H335, Varget, RL15, and maybe some 4895..... Just looking for a place to start......Also have some Virgin Lapua brass on the way, may go that route instead of the Winchester brass.

again......max load 223.....work up to + 10% max over that.......so 2 grs ish....max !

been safe in my 223 AI barrels

burn up the Win factory stuff for the brass

mine is 9T & broken in along with using moly bullets

Lapua brass is good........until you eject it out in the dirt & lose it

The 62gr TSX is a very long for weight bullet and in my rifle was very finiky to find a load for, my favorite powder for this bullet ended up being IMR8208XBR

The 62 Barnes will slice up pigs, I’m amazed at how well it breaks both shoulder on a 200 lb pig.

What's your favorite recipe for them?

I just picked up two more boxes of them and would like to try some different powder(s).

I use 25.5 gr if Varget. Rock River AR
