That is for certain!
This is the second time around. I started this project but I had a case failure with the cheap brass I had. I got some good factory stuff, shot enough to get some good brass and looked for my load data Thursday night and I couldn't find my notes to save my life. All I remembered was I started with 23.5 and worked up to 25 in half grain increments...same bullet and powder. I do remember 24.5 was most accurate last time and it was this time too. My measure was throwing 24.4 so I went with it. Now I wonder if it's worth it to go up .1 with a group like that. For a 16" carbine that's pretty good for me. Anyhow, I do have everything logged, including the Redding micrometer measurements. Next trip out I plan to chronograph it just for curiosity. This is the 60 grain Hornady Varmint SP. I would like to try the Partition as well. If it's as accurate, even if I have to tweak the powder charge, it should be a good bullet for Texas deer and pigs. You say you're using H335 as well?

- So is WC844 a surplus powder that's similar to H335? -

- H335 has been my powder of choice for 5.56/223 since -
