Nosler shot out of 222 sako 100 metres. But my 220swift doesnt like them

BB I use them in my 223 and they group well.I know a few roo shooters who use them.I run BM2 behind them and I have mine going 3300fps.(26 inch barrel and 1:9 twist).
If you get the right load I think you'll like them.

loaded some with BM2 in my 223- didn't like them

Decided to use up some old long opened tins of 2207 and the rest of the box- - .223 loved them- sub MOA and grouped almost the same POI as the Federal 50 JHP American eagle factory load I use ATM.
Think the load was 20 grains- but cannot remember

Thanks Guy's,

Macca,
Can you tell me what load weight of BM2 you are using??? I have got a 24' barrel and a 1:8 twist

The ones i loaded with a mate today was with 33.1gr of 2219 i think????..... i have a bad memory lolol

Cheers BB

BB they are 25.3gr of BM2.I took them up close to max of 26gr but the accuracy was best back at 25.3.I run them on big rabbits comfortably out to 200m under lights.

BB if you were using 2219 it was probably 23.1grs.
I will be interesting to see how they come out of the 1:8 twist.I was told mine would put too much torque on them but they shot well.
Do you have access to a chrony? It is always handy in load developement.

Thanks macca, nah i cant afford a chrony at the moment. You are probably right about the weight of the 2219.... i have been using a computer programm called "load from a disc" and it still confuses me a little as it lists american powders and then i have to use a comparison chart to find the right powders in aus....

Cheers BB

2219 is one of the 322 powders but dont know which one

later

[Buffy]

"H322" i think. Thanks ogre6br.

has anyone else used the programm i am using???

cheers BB

[Buffy]

Macca, just went to the shed and got the load data from this afternoon........ 23.1grs of 2219 for 3163fps at the noisy end..... Did you know... according to my programm you can completely fill a 223 (100% capacity) case with BM2 and it will still be a safe load????

well there you go ..... i learnt somthing..

Cheers BB

[macca]

Me too BB.
The BM2 is one of my favourite powders.It goes well in every rifle I've tried it in.
I know a few who use load from a disc and they say it is pretty good.
The proof is when you check it out in the real world.
If it holds up in the elevation estimates when you check it at 200/300 and further then you'll be cookin with gas.
