223 & 55 gr bator

[siamese4570]

As the title says, been loading the 55 gr bator using 5744 getting about 1900 fps. That's the speed I'm looking for but the accuracy is not there. Just curious what powder has worked for everybody else. I'm using a single shot so not concerned about cycling an AR.

I'm using Promo powder with that boolit in the 223. 5.5 grains only pushes it about 1700 fps. Accuarcy?, well its just my plinking load but I can cover 10 shots with a 50 cent piece at 50 yards. This is out of a 1/12 twist contender.

The above load is with small pistol primers, hope this helps you.

It's been awhile since I've had the rifle, but I believe I was shooting WC852. 2650 fps, 1 5/8" at 100 yards.
