So the thread title says it all. Mentioned that I was planning on experimenting with Fiocchi SPP in 10 rounds of 223 loaded up with 10gr of Blue Dot and a 55 gr. vanilla FMJ-BT.Some expected sooting around the necks since it is nearly a cat-sneeze load (it is with a can). More importantly the primers did not pierce on any of the 10 rounds. EVEN more importantly the dang round actually kept about 3" in a blasted 20mph crazy wind at Trinity Armory (weather man made me angry...they said light to no wind...)
Not going to lie I came late to the game with Blue Dot loads but if you are running handloads in anything not self-loading that Blue Dot is some AWESOME stuff for gallery and plinking.
I'm probably not going to be using those SPP in my 223 loads since I do have a bolt as well as an AR in 223 and fear any kind of mixing. Plus I do load ALOT of 38 special. BUT...knowing it is possible is kinda cool!
