Youre going to have to single load or sell them and buy 77s.

80gn bullets in the .223 are single load affairs. No other way to do it. Trying to seat them to mag length will mess up everything.

I have shot them at mag length, but they're slightly below the bearing surface. It didn't cause any feeding problems, either.

It wasn't my gun, so I'm not sure what the load is.

You will have so much freebore it won't really matter, pressure wise. I've done it, accuracy was not there, not worth throwing that expensive bullet down range if it is 5 MOA.

That SOUNDS like a starting load but I'm without access to my load book.

It is a pretty mild load.

In related news, I just loaded some 75 AMAXs to 2.260. I'll try them out tomorrow.

Can do if you cut the plastic tips off

That's better than having them fall out.

Those 75 gr. Amaxs shot, cycled, and fed just fine, but the accuracy may not be there.

I will put it on paper later this week.
