Hey gang,
Anyone here loading the .224 53gr Vmax bullets?
I've been using the 55gr Vmax bullets in my 1-9 twist bolt action .223 and my 1-7 Colt AR with good success. The only thing that's a little annoying is loading flat bottomed bullets.
I just realized that Hornady makes a 53 grain Vmax that is a boat tail and has a slightly higher BC.
Thinking about switching to the 53 grain just for reloading convenience of dropping a boat tail bullet onto the case mouth vs. a flat bottomed bullet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
