Will someone do a Quick Load check for me on the following:
.223 Rem.
LC 1.75" case
CCI 450
IMR 4895, 24.8grs
Nosler Varmageddon 55gr
Flat Base Hollow Point
BC: .218
Sectional Density: .157
14.5" barrel

I'm looking for velocity at muzzle, 50yds, 100yds, and 200yds.

Might be going on a coyote cleansing, need to know

if this load will have enough zip out to 200 yds.

Thanks,

John

How many grains of water does the case hold?

Computer that has the QL program is going through an update cycle and auto-booted, so I gotta start over for the other info.

Thanks FB41, much appreciated!!

I expected the fps to be higher, was hoping for 2,900-3,000.

Only things I saw that caught my eye are case capacity and

COAL. I found a chart that lists 30.4grs-30.6grs capacity for

LC, and my COAL is running 2.22".
