View Full Version : Has anyone ran the heavy .223 past a chrono yet?
I am going to be going to the prairie dog sniper match later this month and it will be my first one but will not be able to run the 68 grain ammo thru a chrono before than. I was wondering if any body has yet so I get a rough idea of what my holds will be.

Is this a specific loading that you're referring to?

I run a 69 grain matchking over 25.7 grains of Varget... winchester brass, cci small rifle primers, the longest not over 2.260". This is a pretty hot load I took from Lyman 49, but it's over max in most sources. Anyway, really accurate and it clocks 2,773 from my 16" barrel LMT.
Should at least get you in the ball park, but it's still best to test your specific loads...
THis is the 68 grain bthp we did on The group buy from precision cartridge.
I have a chronograph you can use if you want.
