Boydy47 has discovered a new .223 load thats promising, its simple and cost effective so far we've only been able to test it to 100 yards as thats as far as we can back up his truck without ending up in the ploughed field (and besides it was pitch black with torches)
but from a pipecleaner sized 18" barrelled mousegun so far so good

Nice one. That looks very promising indeed! Do tell, what the load?

Not at 27p a round it's not, perfect for practice or target work!

Only downside was when I tried to repeat it in my 1:9 it gave a 3" 'group' though kenny reckons I got confused and switched targets half way through.

Hopefully kenny will do the honours and post a photo of my 40gr SBK over 27 gr of exterminator (max load so work up to it folks), OAL 2.25", giving 3650 fps

5 shot group is .55 moa which is not bad as I couldn't actually see the centre diamond because of the glare from the torch so lined up with the 4 outer points.

Foxing next week
