JLK .224 65 gr LD experience?

[ericbc7]

This winter I picked up 1600 .224 65 gr JLK LDs ("Low Drag" hollow point, flat base-not the VLD boat tails) for a good price at an estate sale. I am doing some research on load data and seating depth for these and am not finding much.

These bullets appear to have a similar nose profile to the 70 & 80 gr JLK VLDs (some of which I also picked up) Does anyone here have some experience with these LD bullets?

I plan to shoot them in a 24" 8 twist heavy barrel Tikka Sporter in .223 rem.

You'll find a 10 twist to be ideal for the 65 grain bullets.

This may not be helpful but I'm getting great results out of a 9 twist 223AI. The ones I'm shooting seem to like the loads close to max powder charge. I'm running 8208 under mine.
