I cant find any powder charge info or ballistic info (powder weights,velocity)for the .223 with ww748 powder if anybody can help

Here's some.223 Rem WW748 loads from my Sierra manual. What grain bullet??
23.9gr=2800fps with 55gr bullet
26.0gr=3100fps with 55gr bullet MAX LOAD

40 grain v-max but if you have 40 gr sierra it will work to

I haven't found any data for a 40 grain bullet and Win748. However the Hornady Seventh edition manual does list it for the 45 grain Hornet bullet on up thru the 60 grain bullets.

45 gr Hornet bullet, #2230, Min 25.5 gr, 3100 fps, Max 28.6 grains, 3400 fps.
50 V-Max, #22261, Min 24.5 gr. 2900 fps, Max 28.3 gr. 3400 fps.
55 V-Max, #22271, Min 22.7 gr. 2800 fps, Max 26.4 gr. 3200 fps.

With the loads above, you have some ballpark data. If I were doing it, I would start out in the middle of the 45 grain bullet range and work up slowly until you find a good load. Hope this helps.

Just looked in the new Nosler manual:
Nosler 40 gr. BT, Min 26.0 gr. 3304 fps, Max 28.0 gr. 3547 fps. 100% load density.
Nosler lists the 28.0 grain load as being the most accurate load out of all the powders tested.
The test rifle had a Lilja 24" barrel with a 1-12" twist. So, not sure how accurate they will be in a black rifle with a quicker twist.

So, there you have it. Maybe I will try some Win748.

thanks for the info
