    I accidentally ordered 34gr Nosler FBHP over runs instead of the 55 gr . With that said I later discovered my mistake and took it as a challenge to make them shoot, though many have told me they will probably not make it to the target, so I worked up some powder loads with what I have on hand ( shooters world tactical rifle powder) starting at minimum 17gr going to 21gr at 1 grain increments” 5 rounds each “ seated at 2.150” in wolf gold brass with federal primers.
    Test rifle Remington 783 heavy barrel synthetic in .223 rem 16.5” heavy bull barrel 1:9 twist
    Pictures of the groups are attached my best sub moa group was with 21 gr of powder the rest were meh but results are definitely worth tinkering with and tightening them up!

    Id like to try some of those out of my 20 inch 1:12. 4000fps? :)

    I need to get a chronograph, that is the only mysterious information at this time but they shoot ! I thought what the heck if they shoot great if not I’ll sell off the other 950 bullets haha if I can get sub half inch at 100 yards out of my little thumper rifle I’ll be extremely happy with it
