How much powder?

[cecil30-30]

I don't reload,but I was thinking of buying a 1000rnds of 223 brass and enough powder,bullets and primers to load the brass up.But since I don't reload,I don't know how much powder or what kind to get.Any suggestions?I was going to get winchester 55gr FMJ bullets,and found some mixed brass for $93,is that too much for $1000 peices?I plan on getting into reloading,but wanted to just grab some of this stuff before its completley gone.

I didn't think it would take that much.But,what do i know!

 

[deerjackie]

7000 grains to the lb you do the math.

 

[deerjackie]

25,000 gr should be plenty.

Good luck finding the powder and primers. I got 12,000 small rifle primers on back order at Cabela's. Every where I looked there sold out.

I did some looking around on the net last night and found a few places with them.

Hi,
The powder when applied must be smooth and less. It is very effective.

For 55gr bullets Accurate Arms 2230 can't be beat. It is a ball powder that meters great through any measure and it gives consistent results on paper and over the chronograph in different temperatures.

I loaded 1000 55gr rem psp bullets with 23.3 grs h-322,,it is super accurate in the 16 inch bbl,,

I use 26.8 varget in the 69 gr sierra load and 18 inch Rem r15 and it is .5 accurate with a 10x scope
