I am wanting to reload for a .223 savage bolt action. I am wanting to use a lead bullet and get the velocity around 1200-1500 fps. Does anyone have any thought on the matter. I am trying to reach this for my little sister who is trying to move up from .22 long, but does not want to go any higher. Thanks for your suggestions.

6-7 grains 4756 about right; 8-9 grains BlueDot for a smite more velocity; pistol primer in each circumstance. ... felix
