X-terminator for 223

[Will the chippy]

Just about to load for my new 223.
Looking at getting ramshot x terminator to load some 50grain v max and some sierra 55 grain hollow points.
Anyone got a load they use successfully in this.

Hodgdon website will give you load data, I used it a lot under 40 gr blitz kings and 52 gr a-max. Also gave blistering speeds in my 27” .308 under 110s.

Ramshot powders are great, also throw really well, just bloody expensive now!

As sadly they all are

Just loading some up now. It's very accurate throwing a load too which is very helpful.

Yep. When I run out of my current stockpile (about 5 years) it’s really going to hurt!!

Mind you I had to buy RS76 for the PRC and at 83 gr a pop it doesn’t last long either.

53g vmax runs nicely in my.223. I have just upped the charge a lil bit to give 3400 fps. The group is 11 shots at 100yards

That'll do nicely. What charge did you settle on?
I've been using 55g sierra blitzking with 24.7 grains of powder.

Really liking my 223.
Anyone got a pet load they really like. What powder and bullet combo? For foxing and munty. And what sort of speeds are you getting?

T3 tikka left hand action
53grn Vmax
Vhit N133 24.5grns
2.256 OAL to the tip not ogive
speed unknown as not crono yet but throws 3 bullets into basically same ragged hole .... i was blown away and meant to be from a barrel on way out... didnt bother trying any other loads / development ill just use that combo until barrel truly says no more.
