Hey guys i'm super excited, I basically stole a browning abolt this weekend stanless bull barrle laminate stock beautiful gun! and I just got a reloader... so I need some loads from some of you guys that have shot this round.... and what should I expect group wise? I want to shoot some distance so I'd love to hear from someone that's shot this rifle say 5 or 6 hundred yards.....

dont have any loads for you, i didnt put in a great amount of effort with my 223 wssm. it was a winchester ultimate shadow. i found that if i got anywhere near maximum i had pressure signs, ultimately i sold the rifle as the ballistics i was working with were not much better than the 22-250. i used imr 4350 with which i did not have good luck.
one of the biggest reasons i sold it was the short brass life, i got only 2 to 3 loadings out of new winchester brass. i am curious to what others have to say about it.
 
My son has had a Browning in 223wssm for about 5 years. Medium to slow burn rate powders work well, i.e. 4350, 4064, RL17, RL19, 4831, etc.

We've had excellent accuracy with a 60gr Vmax and a 60gr Btip, both running at 3,700fps+.
 
I have a browning A BOLT in 223 wssm. That I bought used from a friend because it would not group with factory ammo. I load 55 gr. C/T ballistic silver tips with H 414. This gun will shoot ragged bullet holes off of a bench. I tried several different loads and bullets. Could not get any smaller bullets to group worth a darn. I believe the charge on the H 414 was max load according to the new Nosler book. And the length was all the magazine would allow. Hope it works for you as it did me.
