Straight out of the Nosler #9 Book, be aware that the data is using Nosler brass

I have messed with those 64gr. Nosler BSB's for a while and haven't really had any great luck. They are known to be a bit difficult but I really want to find a decent load myself as well. Let me know how they work out for you, thanks. Primarily want to run these in my 20 inch AR.

Use to shoot factory loads with them for 22-250 pretty lethal, if u can get them to work in your 223.

My favorite load for them is 25.5gr CFE223, c.o.a.l. 2.260", and I use ASC magazines which have plenty of room for that OAL.

Nice thanks for the info. I definitely have some CFE-223. Do you recall what Primer you happened to use? I have regular and some magnums as well. Also have various magazines to choose from.
I'm going to start tinkering with then, I will let you know. Trying to see if I can get around to it this weekend
Thanks
I'm going to have to buy cfe, that's the one powder I don't have. Go figure
Allient 2000-MR is the best for 62 through my self imposed limit of 75 grains for the small size of 223 cases. It gives you another 100 fps over CFE 223. Another top powder is Leverrevolution and use the same tables as CFE223. I generally use only remington match primers for consistancy. Mixed brass will give you mixed results.
The beauty of powders that can get the highest FPS is that you can download and bring in accuracy and be very easy on the equipment.
I shoot lots of rounds so I buy bulk bullets like the RMR 69 gr. by the 1000's

.224 RMR 69 Gr. BTHP 3GH *NEW* (Read Description Before Ordering) | RMR Bullets
We make this bullet ourselves. It is still in development so there may be some variances from lot to lot. We have pretty much gotten this bullet to where we want it. It is nearly perfect. I say nearly because city wastewater requirements mean we don’t currently have a way to polish/degrease this...

I'm shooting those with 26gr CFE 223, cci 450 primer out of a bolt action 20" 8 twist 223. 1.905 is my BTO, COL is about 2.180. Velocity is 2983 and hits exact same POI at 100 as the 53gr varmageddon.

Sorry, I should have added that to the recipe..
I'm using CCI-400's. Yes, they appear a little flat, but then they are running at the top end of the pressures they were designed for.
All of my .223's shoot well under 1 MOA with this load.
