[QUOTE="brian b, post: 36599, member: 2797"] Ring, just something to try,I use a 223 quite a bit and have found the 40grainers to work well out to pushing 500 yards,you can get an extra 200fps or more by switching from 748 to n133,benchmark,or RL10x .not the best for coyotes but works awesome for rockchucks and smaller. The 75 a-max's are great but dont do much damage at long range at 223 velocities,but with a 22-250 Ack Imp they are devastating,if you shoot these bullets you need to know what twist your barrel is because you need to have a 1-9" or faster to shoot the 75's. If you have a chronograph try one of the three powders I mentioned and work up slow and I'llbet you find a safe load that shoots some where around 3800 to 3900fps,with the load you are using of 748 you are probably only shooting at around 3500fps. dont give up on the bullet yet try another powder!!!!
