Could someone do a Quick Load run or three for me? 223 Ackley Improved

[DIBBS]

I have a 7.5 twist .223 Ackley Improved. I would like to use 8208 XBR, but also have RL-15 and Varget and other powders available. Winchester, Lake City brass primarily, and possibly Lapua Brass down the road, Federal 205 primers.

This chamber is relatively short throated, loads in fireformed brass are 2.35" COL with 77 nosler CC's on top of 24.5 grains of Varget. I thought I had a decent load with 8208 but last trip to the range with some wet cases resulted in blown primers, so I am starting over again. I also have a stash of 75 and 80 grain Amaxes.

I'm just looking for a safe range with the above powders, will do a ladder test and verify in my rifle.

Thanks in advance if you can assist.

not sure if this helps, just be careful all these are near max loading. Not knowing your case cap. or barrel lenght doesn't make it accurate either.




Cartridge : .223 Ackley Imp
Bullet : .224, 77, Nosler CC HPBT 22421
Useable Case Capaci: 27.384 grain H2O = 1.778 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.350 inch = 59.69 mm
Barrel Length : 22.1 inch = 562.0 mm

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 48125 psi, or 331 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 105 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

FWIW have no experience with Quickload, appreciate the general information Davey Boy. Thanks for taking the time to give me some parameters to work with, since published data is lacking.

Really nice that everyone else here is so extremely helpful & accomodating as well....
