[223Animal]

Got 1000 55 to 62 223 blems $75 24 of the bullets were 62 grain, all the rest were between 55 and 57 grain should I load them like 55grain bullets?Just wondering, just for plinking

If you're in the middle of the powder range, I probably wouldn't worry about the 62's.

Personally, I'd work up a load for the 55/57, and take a grain or so off that for the 62's & save them for rough zero, fouling the bore, or just blasting.

You weighed all 1000? How good's your scale?

I didn't weigh all bullets you can see the 62 grain were a little longer,the others that looked like 55 grain I weighed around 20 all weighed between 55 to 57 grains I think there all close,my scales ok for weighing bullets and powder not real expensive $30

I'll use the 62 grain bullets for subsonic loads

subsonic ??


in what ? a 223 ?
use a 22 rimfire ...why would you ever go through the effort ? its the same thing

Nice big bullet, travels about 900 fps very accurate, also quiet, sounds like a small firecracker 3.6 grains pistol powder no suppressor needed

I love the 3.6 gr ....I'm into efficiency today ....I find myself dreading dumping 45 plus grains any more ...

Yep I agree I use titegroup for the powder, hodgdon even has a load for subsonics, im retired got lots of time to experiment with things. I did tests on different pistol powders,titegroup by far the best,also did accurate #5,unique. Titegroup held all the best numbers, have to look them up.
