hornady 68 grain bulets in 223

[cocopuff]

Anyone using those 68 gr pills in 223 with a 9 twist?

if so how you doing with them...main question

is what O A L are you running them....I would

think the data for 69 gr SMK could be used with

them...BUT they (the hornadys) are a longer bullet..

thanks for any info..

I load them mag length....2.255. They shoot very well thru a 9 twist.

I just started testing the 69 SMK's in a new Tikka T3, and so far they show some great potential. I am loading them at 2.280; which just fits in a Tikka mag.
