Nosler recommends setting the coal on their 223 55gr Varmegeadon fb tipped at 2.260
I goofed on a batch and set them at 2.250 which is 10 thousands shorter.
Now, I am using 23gr. of H335 which is at 80% of case volume and their lowest load for the H335.
Granted I will see a slight increase in pressure but, IMHO being its 5.56/223 its probably really a slight change being bottlenecked cases.
Am I correct in this thinking being they are still is what is considered saami max col
How much powder do you think that would equal if one where to try to obtain that said pressure in a recommended 2.260 col/coal case.
I have no calculations to know how much powder fits in a neck area of a 223 round at a height of 10 thousands of a inch area.
OR another way I could ask is do you think with the slightly shorter coal I will exceed say pressure of one loaded at 24 gr. to a length of 2.260?
Thanks
