So I’m fixing to start working on a load for precision varmint hunting and target shooting with 223/5.56 AR15. 1:8 twist. 18” barrel. I shoot as far as 800 yards. I’ve never reloaded 223 before now. I have some dies and a good stock of 50 grain V-max that I used to use in 22-250 to red mist prairie dogs when I lived up north.
I’m thinking something like a 60 grain V-max? Any other suggestions? Do I need to go heavier for the higher BC?
What’s some good powders to use? I have a pound or 2 of pretty much everything there is.
