Just got in a bunch of .224 62 grain bonded btsp's.
Can't wait to pop a deer with one.

Cool thanks.

Out today to try a few more loads.
26.0gr CFE 223 with my 64gr Winchester Power Points (soft points)
I have also loaded the same
bullets with 22.5gr RE10x and taken a deer. Alliants data tops out at 55gr for 223 but has light .308 loads, so I tried some with medium weight .223 with no issues. Haven't gone heavier than 64gr bullets though

Tested 25.0 grains of CFE223. It opened groups to inch and a half.
Even my 25 grains of RL15 opened up to 0.84"
all groups at 100 yards.
No need to look any further with this bullet.

I'm a stubborn single-stager. In a good year I'll load 10K of various calibers - that's a lotta handle pulls : ) Since moving back to NC in March I've not reloaded a single round. I've gotta get on that!

Reloading is one of the few things that I do for fun.
I've been brass prepping most of today. Wet tumbling.
I'm a true believer that everyone should start off learning from a single stage press. As your level and knowledge progress, so should your press to progressive, auto index, manual index, etc........

I loaded and tested a handful of 45acp rounds today. 200gr LSWC (my castings) over 4.5gr of Red Dot. All ran well, so I'll now run a production batch.
OP
I have 100 new Win brass in .223 that I'll prep and load up a bunch of my new 62's.

And I burned about (35) 308Win rounds last weekend. I should probably get busy on those.
Pick up "The ABCs of Reloading" & read it cover to cover.bspitt said:
