[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3674824, member: 15054"] I do not have a recipe for that. Hope someone comes in here with a good one but as we all know every rifle likes something a bit different. I have found every bullet i try in my .223 or 5.56 seems to like about .5 gr under max book load. Magnum primers have always resulted in smaller groups for my rifles CCI 450. But run what you have. Brass prep is very important for great accuracy in that little round. Someone here did a test in his own rifle with his prepped cases and another guys prepped cases and some I prepped to put that theory to the test. I spend on average 4 minutes per case to prep them. I hate brass prep. My bolt rifles like the bullets I have tried to be seated long. 2.278" for the little 55gr V-Max flat base no cannelure which is the most accurate bullet I have ever shot in that caliber. I anneal every case, I also deburr the flash hole inside the case and use a VLD chamfer after trimming. I also measure shoulder Ogive as it can be different if one case did not get enough lube inside or out and that will open the group. No crimping for me and neck tension is set at .003" for the .223/5.56 Here is something I found on what you are looking for that may be worth reading .
