Experiences with 64gr bullets 223

223 I been using CFE223 but im getting max 2829 and average 2749 using 26gr. 20in barrel nosler says 26gr is max some others say 26.4gr. Theres alot of options available in terms of powder but very few true 64gr load data everything is 60-63-65gr. Im trying to get more velocity. I tested 64gr ammo inc at 2770fps. Im trying to get 2900 consistently. I was thinking about trying tac i heard it burns better in 16-20in barrels.

Just ordered 500 223 trophy bonded bullets

I have worked up a load with 64gr soft points so im going to match it with these. Im getting 2650 with 16in and 2750 with 20in is that enough velocity for these bullets? Using 26gr of cfe223

9mm 147gr hst low velocity test

​

This was my data for 147gr hst.

Winchester small pistol primer random brass 1.135 length

5.7gr accurate no 7 147gr hst glock 17 average 908 es 83 high 947 low 864

Mp shield 5.7gr 147gr hst average 816 es 100 high 859 low 759

The shot was taken into water jugs with mp shield velocity was 830fps penetration was 2 jugs stopped in the 3rd hst was sourced from American reloading. I made sure each one was right on 5.7gr weighed multiple times not sure why im getting such big deviation could be because of a slow burn. A faster powder might give better results in the mp shield but for now this works. Because of the deviation Idk if they would expand at 759 fps so I would say keep these at a longer barrel to keep the velocity up. I have tested 6.7gr and had way better velocity out of the mp shield so thats going to be my go to load for the shield.

I put a ? Next to 5.7gr because I thought I grabbed a box with 5.7 but I think I miss marked it because I did an earlier test last year for pressure signs for both 223 and I did a quick test with the mp shield with 147gr 5.7gr and 6.7 and 124gr 7.5gr was getting 829-880fps and 950-990fps. I was using hodgans data for 9mm and 223 sierra data accurate no 7 and cfe 223. I did make 24gr 25.0gr grain loads but for some reason I couldn't get the chronograph to read for those 2 loads. I didn't have pressure signs so I decided to go thro with the 26.0gr test.

Been looking looking at different copper bullets. I have tested barnes in the past but I want to try something different. Maker expanding bullets look good nice big pedals. MKZ also look amazing.

I love pasta basically everything but Alfredo i just dont like the sauce. My favorite recipe is cheesy meat pasta. Basically you cook your desired pasta add pasta sauce and pasta to a pot get it to a simmer or light boil then add cheese to melt together with the pasta and add your desired ground meat. I got the idea because I loved dominoes pasta bowls the problem was they where expensive for how much you got. Sometimes I add puree jalapeños to the sauce to give it a light kick with a light amount of sugar for a hint of sweetness tho thats just me. I would like to hear what other simple pasta dishes that people have come up with. How do you like your pasta cooked completely soft or with a slight bite to it?
