Loading 223 for a dozen rifles

[Hammer]

Getting ready to load about 5,000 rounds of 223 Remington that will be used in about a dozen rifles interchangeably -- Savage and Remington bolt guns.

Target will be Wyoming prairie dogs under 300 yards.

Brass is all new cases. Brass will be deburred and chamfered.

Will be loaded on a Dillon 650.

Any recommendations as to bullet and powder,assume ball powder) ?

Hammer - I like the 50 Nosler BT over H322.

H322 or Benchmark work verry well out of a Dillon 650 use a bullet that is plastic tiped and around 50gr and you should be good to go another option is the Speer TNT it is an awsome projectile without a tip and also the 50gr BlitzKing work verry well. if you have to use diferent projectiles to get up to the quantity you require dont wory about it just as long as they are plastic tiped or the TNT you will be good to go and either powder with any small rifle primer.

Under 300 yards, I would load up 25.5-26.0 grains of AA2230 and the Hornady 40 grain VMAX.

50gr TNT, 25.0-25.5gr H335

55gr,pick one),26.5gr Win748

If the guns won't shoot sub-MOA,closer to 1/2) w/ that... check the shooter, then the gun, in that order.

I shoot 27gr H335 and a 55gr Speer spitzer,or FMJBT) That is max from my old speer #11.
