.223 Rem 68gr. Hammer Hunter Tipped Load?

Morning guys! Anybody using the 68 grain Hammer Hunter Tipped out of their .223 Rem? My Tikka Super Varmint has a 1/8 twist and I'm going to try to work up a load, most likely with CFE223. Just wondering if anybody has experience with them and how it went?

Thank you,
Andrew

Look in the Hammer HHT load data thread here or on the Hammertime Forum.
One load test is posted. (It's under Reloading)

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

So I want to shoot this bullet too (HHT 68gr) in a .223 Wylde. Since powder is getting short, what's the best bet? I have seen Viht 135 and Varget listed as good loads.

I do have 8208 XBR And RL 10x, as well as 4350.

Will be fired from 26" Brux 1:8. Rifle is not finished yet, but powder is getting scarce.

Thanks much.

I'll be watching this as I'm thinking that would be a great load for deer.

I didn't try Varget with the 68 grain HHT, however I have had great luck with the 62 grain TSX over Varget in the past. For the 68 grain HHT, I started with the data on the Hammertime forum and was able to find a load with 24 grains of A2230. I'll have to look at my notes to remember the seating depths. I know it was .02 off of the lands. I finally got my Garmin Xero C1 so will be testing velocities on them in the next couple of weeks. Eventually I'll futz around with other powders as well. I have zero doubts that 68 grain HHT will be a deer killer!

Following. Anyone get any velocities to share yet? 223rem/68grTHH combo.

Yes, I finally got my Garmin in and made it out to the range. On a 30 degree winter day, my average velocity 2,926.6 fps with the 68 grain HHT with 24 grains of A2230 seated to 2.360 OAL. That is out of a Tikka Super Varmint 1/8" twist.

Thanks!
