Load needed 80gr Amax

[356tsw]

Looking for a good load for 80gr. Amax in 8 twist 223.

I use an 8 twist .223 McLennon 30 inch barrel, 722 action, in F Class. Good loads for 80 gr bullets have been 27.5 gr Win 760 and 27.5 gr H380. Both chrono at 3000 fps, Win brass, CCI 450 primers. You have to use the tough magnum primers at this velocity. These are compressed loads which is no problem with the 80 MatchKing but the thin jacket of the 80 AMax will deform when pushed down on a compressed powder charge.
