Does anyone have any load data for this 223 bullet. I can't find it anywhere and Sierra was supposed to send me some data but never did. I have all types of manuals but unfortunately not Sierra. Thanks for the help in advance.

You need to work up a safe load for your chamber. Do not start out with this load, but go lower.
Our perfect Yote Load.
We shoot .224 in Lapua Brass, 65 gr SGK and 24.8 gr of H-4895 in Wylde cut chamber in a 20" barrel. I have to look up the fps, but getting 1/3" MOA

Looks at Nosler or Hogdgon that will get you started.
Almost forgot, Speer also

I shoot the 65 SBT Sierria GK in my .223 Wylde AR with Starline brass and 24.8 Gr of accurate 2230 lit by a CCI 41 primer. Shoots 10 shot groups just under an inch at 100 yards. Can't tell you off the top of my head what MV is,but load is in my head because just loaded a few up.
Start low and work up to it. It's safe in MY rifle.

Don't know what rig you have but the 65 gr SGK is an awesome bullet in a .223 for Yotes. Our favorite bullet. If you can find them and get a good load worked up buy a bunch of the 65 SGK. I remember a few years ago they were very hard to find.
We use H-4895 and that is hard to find. We have several 8 #s of CFE 223 and will try that out.
H-4895 works best in a .223 for us. Also Varget, but use Varget in our 6BRs.

Len, I personally think they would be good on deer sized game also. I've never tried them because I have other calibers for deer,but seeing them take down yodel dogs, I can't help but think that they would work.
