Looking for a hunting load with the Lee 230gr bullet and IMR 4227 for use in a 30-223 bolt action. Close range deer load.

Way too fast a powder for that bullet weight
I will keep looking

Best I could do

For the 300 but close and the heavy load is super-sonic, so should be better for hunting

look at the data I posted links for you.....the answers were already put out for you
An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."
I doubt you will have enough volume capability to get that bullet to the velocities you want.
Here is 203gr cast powdercoated data from Palmetto Projectiles.

Yes and I thank you, but I have found that sometimes you will get other members to chime in if you rephase or ask for help using a different wording. It seems that some may not be interested in say the 30-223 but they might be if you state a certain powder or what you hope to achive .

You will want something along the lines of 4895 or a bit faster I suspect, for your 230's
Never thought about 4895. I might have a lb. of H4895.
