    What do you work on for COAL? I am about to embark on my reloading career and will be reloading .22 hornet, 6.5x55 & .223, it sounds like I have the same remmy set up as you.
    Thanks for looking

    Viht n120 with either a 50 grain vmax or a 55 grain Hornady SPWC it's very accurate in my rifle and you use approx 3 1/2 grains less per bang to most other 223 powders so get more fun from a tub.

    24.5g of RL15 pushing a 69g sierra match out of a 1:9 remy police.
    One ragged hole at 300yds and good out to 600yds in light wind, though not for fox at that range obviously.

    latest efforts

    These are my latest efforts at .223 handloads, taken at 110 yards lasered.(indoor tube range) 3 shot groups.
    N-133
    Fed primers
    Lapua brass
    50 grain V-Max .
    oal=2.245
    the shot on the 24.9 gn target was me not the rifle think it would have been a tidy group otherwise.
    these are all uncrimped,may try a few using the lee factory crimp die next.
    the 3 bullets through 1 hole i dont think i will ever repeat ! 25.1 gn load.
    liking my T3 so far
    now need to find charlie.

    His is a 1 in 12 twist so I don't think it will stabilise a 69gn bullet
    When I first bought my rem 700 which is 1 in 12 too I bought a load of rg ammo just for the cases etc but I fired them off....couldn't hit a barn door
    You can pull the bullet and re use a vmax instead with great results but I just reused the brass and borrowed night stalkers load of 21.9 gn of vit 120 and a 50gn vmax bullet.....bingo
