LOAD DATA HELP: Sierra MatchKing Boat Tail Hollow Point 30 Cal 168 Grain #2200

[Bruce McAskill]

Beware of Accurate 2200 powder. Do not deviate from published data by Accurate. This was originally a surplus powder for the 7.62x39. Do not exceed publish information on it as the pressure can jump with just a small amount of powder increase. I used it to load .223 with a 55 gr FMJ bullet. I was at 21 grains when I started to get primer failures in my SP1 Colt. Nice holes in the Winchester primers. The load was 2 grains UNDER published max. So start with starting loads and increase slowly.

Thank you for the heads-up. I've bought Hodgdon H4895 and IMR 4064 so start working uploads using Hornady Brass, 168 gr. BTHP MatchKings and Barnes 175 gr. LRX bullets.
