Load data wanted please for Hornaday 50 gr GMX in .223 Rem

[daw]

Has anyone got load data for Hornaday 50 gr GMX in .223 Rem please preferably using Viht powders N140 or N160?

The Viht pages do not offer any viable N160 values for this cartridge. But there are some examples of N140 loads under some sample 50gr projectiles:

Rifle reloading data | Handloading | Rifle calibers | Centerfire Rifle bullets | Reload your own ammo - Vihtavuori

Vihtavuori offers rifle reloading data for numerous calibers and bullets for match and hunting purposes. Never exceed maximum loads.

www.vihtavuori.com

I use the GRT load modelling software. That software includes your 50gr GMX projectile. It suggests charge weights lower than the online Viht table above. [I supply this without recommendation of any kind.

N160 is rather too slow for 223 in general I reckon.

N13x or N140 would be where I’d look

I find N135 better for up to 55gn, and N140 for the 69gn bullets,
good luck

CFE 223 and N540 both work for me. The latter gives 1/4 moa.
