Greetings All Wise ones:
I recently purchased a Howa M1500 Varminter with a heavy barrel. I am looking for a noce group shooting load with a 55 grain cast lead bullet that is sized 0.224 with a gas check applied.
Many years ago, I had a load for another gun, 19.8 grains of what my father called military ball powder. That load was sweet, 1.0-1.5" groups at 100 yards, everytime. Unfortunately, our powder supply dried up and I do not know the commercial equivalent.
Anyway, back to the subject, does anyone have a really nice shooting 223 load for this bullet, it is a Lyman 225462 (?).
Thanks,
Dave
