| Does anyone have experience with this bullet? I'm looking for reloading data and any problems that I might run into. |

Quoted:
.223 ar15. 1 in 12 . All I have found is for 40 gr bullets. Would a hot round with this bullet cause to much recoil for the buffer? GENERALLY... a lighter round causes less recoil. GENERALLY... a heavier bullet uses less powder. So using the 40gr bullet charge... should give a little safety margin w/ the 34gr... generally... |

I'm fairly certain I've seen some .223 Rem loads for the 35 grain class bullets, but I'll have to look around. Gunpowders such as H4198 and 4227's will probably be the best choices.
They'll be blazing fast with a full charge. Recoil won't be diddly, nor gas pressure at the port. Here's some load data I trust; scroll down the page: http://www.accuratereloading.com/223rem.html 27.5 grains of H4198 with a 35 grain Berger MEF for 4300 fps!

| Whoa, that IS fast. I bought 500 varmit nightmare bullets from mid south to load up for prairie dogs. I've got W748 and benchmark on hand. I'm using magnum primers for the 748. Anybody see any problems using th mag primers with the benchmark? Thanks for the replies so far. |

The magnum primers are okay, just don't substitute them directly into loads you've been shooting with different primers without at least a cursory check for pressure - that's a long way of saying reduce the load by 5% and start over.
Some of these light varmint bullets might not survive real fast twist barrels. If you can't find the first one or two bullet holes at 100 yards, shoot a couple up close to see if the bullets are coming apart. They might make a mist that is visible when they fail. |
