Target loads for Hornady 225 ftx bullets
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 6:34 pm
Dear brother Bushmaster reloaders:______________
Finally got my upper together (....16 inch, midlength Balistic Advantage barrel flattop...), got the brass, dies and powder together and am ready to start loading. Have been reading the forum and i noticed that Hoot has used a load of 35 grains of alliant 2400 for the 225 grainers. I intend to try this load (...i like the medium fast powder idea, and dont have any Litl Gun...). I do have several pounds of H110. Have any of you all worked up any loads that look promising using H110 and the 225 ftx? My thoughts are that the load should be with magnum primers and at least 42 grains of H110. I think the H110 may be a bit slow for this lighter bullet; but i would still like to work out a load with it if i can. What are your collective thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
