What did you do at the range today?

[Austin Kaufman]

Shot 50 rounds of 223 from the PRS barricade and prone. Really digging the 85.5 long range hybrid targets out of the 223. Not sure if they will perform on game like my 77s and 73s but they sure mash steel out deep.

What twist, barrel length, speed, load data are you using?

1:8 twist, 20” barrel, Varget powder, 2600 fps. I used hornady data for 80, 88, 90s for a starting point. I’m running Varget powder and was over book max on some with no pressure signs. Had loads going 2525-2700. My gun shot a load that was 2600 fps really well so I just rolled with that. My limiting factory is mag length with a howa mini I’m at 2.315 COAL to get them in my magazine. All these loads were 7-14 SDs with 10 shot groups. Once I get a 223 barrel and bolt face for my PRS gun I’m excited to load some longer and see how they are out of a longer barrel. Be a fun round for a trainer.
