Need some suggestions on powder for 223

You can shoot a 5 shot group that you can cover with a nickel? At 300 yards? And shot with an AR platform? Wow. I sure would like to see that done. That might just be the most accurate AR that I have ever heard of right there. Can it do that all day long when you do your part?

I think he meant that his groups at 50yds could be covered by a nickel and he likes the 50yd zero for the bullet drop out to 300yds.

Well, this is what he posted: "25-300 yds I can cover 5 shot groups with a .05 piece"

To me, that looks like he is saying that anywhere between 25 and 300 yards that he can cover a 5 shot group with a nickel. I did not see anywhere where he said that was a 50 yard group.
 
Yep, their load (at least for my Model 21) is 25.5gr of H335 at 2.250" and a 50gr Sierra BK

He can only do it from 8 AM til 5 PM.. he has to be home for dinner or his mommy will take it away and not let him shoot it any more.
 
I have had great success with Xterminator and Sierra 65 grain game kings. Use this load in my handy rifle , AR , and mini 14.
