Went to Lonestar Sunday, got there at 3 PM. Sun was right in our scopes. Why did they point it West? The .223 is done in Varget and BL-C[2] . The Varget [25.3/ 69 gr] got bullseyes and the BL-C[2] [25.5/69 gr] came in 1/4 inch lower. So 25.7might do it. Out of a Bushy carbine. 100 yds. My hand loads beat SS 109, I'm cool with that I'll stop there.
The .308 bolt didn't like the first outing, the sun was setting right down the scope tubes. Got 1 1/2" groups, with 42.5 -43.5 gr Varget/ 150gr and 2" groups with 45.5gr BL-C-[2]. I'll drop to 43gr next, but some guy came up and handed me his .308 brass, so 40 extra is good. Reds indoor will have no wind, I can dial it in there on an off day this week.
