just got back from the range today i think i did a good job with my reloads
i used 25.7grns of imr 4064 with 55grn fmj in my ar15 with a 18 inch barrel i cronographed it and i was around 3100 to 3200 with the twenty rounds that i loaded,i know i need to back down the powder because i had a lot of unburnt powder in the action and i could see it spit some powder out the muzzle brake but i guess that is the way you just test diffrent loads. if any one has any sugestions to my load work up i thank you |
Welcome to the reloading club.
IMR-4064 is a little slow burning for use in 223. I would suggest one of the ball powders for easy measuring from a powder measure and for accuracy. Try some Tac, AA-2230, or H-335. Tac and Hornady 55 gr FMJBT's are a favorite around here. Trying new loads is one of the fun things about reloading. |

I would ditch the IMR 4064 as others mentioned. |
