![]() ![]() If you get a suppressor, this load will also be slightly quieter & slightly less wear & tear on the can. The Hornady actually costs less at $0.16/ea which gets you to $0.225/each.īy Adjusting your load components, you can actually decrease the cost of the load (even down from $10/lb surplus powder), significantly reduce muzzle flash, while maintaining the exact same energy levels, while using, what I believe to be, a better projectile for hogs.boy, I hope my math was right.oh well, been embarassed before. Im sure it wouldnt cycle the action on either my SU or AR, but I could manually load it or use it as a single shot. This would only need 18.1 grains of powder to push it to 2440fps & the same 990ft lb e of your H335 load, and 50,000psi chamber pressure. Using the same N120 powder, but a 75 grain Hornady projectile loaded to 2.25"COAL can get you down to burning 100% of the powder in only 8" of barrel. They necessitate smaller powder charges, which means you have less to burn from the start, and they spend more time in the barrel, which has the side effect of giving the powder more time to burn. ![]() You might also consider Heavier projectiles because they increase powder % burn in two ways. More expensive N120 would push your cost up to $0.276This N120 load should burn 100% of the powder in 13" of barrel It goes subsonic around 900 yards but still has a decent group at 1000. You really can make 2900 fps with the 75 grain at NATO pressure w CFE. Also use in with Nosler 64 grain bonded solid base, but nosler does not publish 556 NATO pressure data, just 223. Runing N120 & Nosler 55 BT at a longer 2.25" would only need 20.4grains to get to the same 50,000psi chamber pressure, and should go 2,850fps & get 990ft lb energy. 1 I have followed HJornady advice in latest manual w 75 grain BTHP and CFE223. The longer BT takes up more case capacity which increases chamber pressure. Your 55g Nosler BT is 0.810" long, while their Hornady 55g FMJ is shorter at 0.735". has an excellent page with information on the 223 Remington Ackley Improved here. Parent brass is readily available and reported velocity gains average 100-140 FPS depending on bullet weight. So QL almost exactly matches their velocity claim. The 223 Remington Ackley Improved is one of Ackley’s most popular creations. Running their load thru QL nets 3,122fps at 50,000psi chamber pressure. Their manual lists it using Hornady 55grain FMJ at 2.244"COAL with a max of 20.7grains. It is much faster & burns 100% in a 16" barrel What fps do you actually get?This load probably costs you $0.20 for the bullet & $0.0364 in powder, if your using surplus powder. QL says your running about 47,000psi chamber pressure & should be getting about 2835fps & 982 ft lb energy. So you have 1.7grains of burning powder leaving your barrel (24g x 7% unburnt powder = 1.68g) Your load: 24grains H335, Nosler 55g (0.810") should burn 93% of the powder if using a 16" barrel & 2.25"COAL I use Quickload to play with subsonic & suppressed loads & to learn what "normal loads" are doing ![]()
