[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 717279, member: 43468"] Hey sidecar i got a 223 rem question for you, i was out reloading some 55 grain fmj in hornady brass, win primer, and 24 grains of Varget. I looked at the back of a fmj and saw the exposed lead at the tail end and thought "Well that oughta rip a huge hole in a coyote" So i loaded five backwards to see if they shoot worth anything, and since there is more bullet in the case i dropped the powder charge to 20 grains of varget and sat them .035 farther from the lands when measured from the ogive. Should these be safe to shoot? Have you ever tried it and what kind of accuracy did you get? Im only hoping for like 2" groups at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
