Har anybody used federal 205 primers with accurate 2230 powder and if so what were your results?

AA-2230 is a great 223 powder for 55 and 62 gr bullets.

I have never used the Federal 205.

I use Wolf SRM, Wolf 223, Win SR, CCI 400, CCI 450, CCI 41, Rem 7 1/2. Any of these work well.

Begin loading with the "start" load and work up watching for pressure signs.

I use CCI primers and AA2230, and have worked up some great 55grn loads.
It usually meters +/- .1 grains with a RCBS uniflow powder measure.

I shot a bunch on Sunday with 2230C gunpowder.

You shouldn't have a problem with any primer.

The Fed-205 has a thin cup as to be compared to a Rem 6 1/2 or CCI-400, but the 205M has the same thick cup that all the other good primers have so if your shooting regular 205's then keep the loads light or the primers will pierce.
