223 loads

[Willy]

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a used 223; the idea being that my son can join me shooting some f-class. It's a weatherby vanguard with a 30" barrel, will have to confirm the twist rate when I pick it up, but am operating on the assumption that it's got a reasonably fast twist rate. I'm looking for advice on projectiles and powder and the like to get started.
Thanks!

Gary hear mate was the rifle the one from the Barn mate; if so from memory its a 1 in 8 twist , 80gr sierra just off the lance using fed 205 primers and 2208 23.9 gr

Yeah, that's the one. I'm looking forward to seeing how it shoots and tracking improvements as I accurise it. First step is to mount a decent scope, then I'll give this load a go, thanks!
