.223 Loads For Data 68 & 73 Powders

[ccg]

Does anyone have loads for these powders especially for the 69 gr. bullet?

Data 68 is to fast for 69's. It does, however shoot very well for me with 24.0 gr behind a 53 gr Hornady HP. This is out of both my Rem 700V,slow twist) and all of my AR's,fast twist). 50 V-Max's do well too. I was shooting this summer in near 100 degree heat with this load and started seeing some pressure signs, so that is the highest I will go. I don't have any Data 73 but it is definitely faster than 2230-C. Be very careful with anything above 23.5 gr,69 gr bullet). Start at 22.0 gr or so. IMO these powders should be used for the light bullets only. As always work up your loads and watch for pressure signs.
