[QUOTE="Lowlander, post: 2038520, member: 115963"] This^^^ has been similar to my go to accuracy load in my 1:8, 223 Wylde chambered 20" barrel. I'm running IMR4895 instead of H4895, but the results have been excellent. These powders aren't the same so refer to a manual. I have loaded up the 69gr SMK, 69gr Barnes Match Burners, 55gr V-Max and my go-to best performer; Hornady 75gr BTHP. I'm using once fired Lake City, FL sized, trim length 1.750". Charge weight is middle of the road according to my Speer manual on the 75gr. I loaded ladders in 0.3gr increments, 5 rounds each. My overall length for the 69s/75s is 2.255". I have to say, it's not the fastest load/powder. But man does it shoot. I have some Varget, CFE223 and XBR8208 that I've been meaning to try. I've got a boatload of IMR4895 so I've been using it a lot in the 223 and 308. It is a case filler when you start working up to hotter published loads. [/QUOTE]
