Posted this in reloading with no response. Anyone have a favorite load for 223 wylde? 16" Christensen Arms carbon fiber barrel 1:8 twist on a custom AR with 223 Wylde chamber. Looking at loading some 60 grain Vmax with Tac. Has anyone tried this load or have one of their own they prefer? Will...

16" Christensen Arms carbon fiber barrel 1:8 twist on a custom AR with 223 Wylde chamber. Looking at loading some 60 grain Vmax with Tac. Has anyone tried this load or have one of their own they prefer? Will mainly be used for coyotes and small game with 350 yards. Maybe the occasional...

Thanks everyone. I'm picking up some ELD-x but might get some VLD target as well. Looking stay in the 140 or 143 grain range so no 130s for me

Yeah the availability may make the decision for me. I use VLD in my other caliber's reloads so that got me leaning that way. Glad to know the ELD-x isn't as sensitive to seating depth Anyone have recommended loads?

I have a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 24 inch barrel (Remington 5r) that I've been shooting factory 143 grain ELD-x with good results. Now that I have lots of brass I'm ready to reload for it. I was looking at some 140 grain hunting VLDs as I've had good results with VLD bullets on my 25-06. But I've...

Thanks everyone. I'll try to pick up some of the suggested powders and work up some loads. Completely agree that good records are the only way to reload.

I have a Rock River AR with a 16" 1:9" twist barrel. I've been shooting 50 grain federal and then 55 grain vmax factory ammo with great results. With ammo getting hard to find and pricey I'm looking at reloading for it. Already have RCBS full length dies and some 53 grain vmax and a full box of...

Yes I'm not far at all from cookeville. Did you get a chance to find out how much powder?

How much powder do you use with those 85s?

I am 50 miles east of Nashville right off of I40

Thanks! I read on here where some people were using 75gn Sierra HP with IMR4064 and were getting excellent accuracy. I will get some 115 VLD and try them out for sure though.

I am new to the forum and would like to know a good load to shoot coyotes with. I live in TN so most shooting on my farm is under 400 yards with a few shots reaching out to 600. I just bought a Remington 700 long range 25-06. It has a 26" varmint barrel with a 10" twist. I have a Vortex PST 6x24...
