    62 gr. .223 loads

    Why is there such a lack of loads [that I can find] for 62 gr. bullets in the .223? I have found one load with cfe223.

    I'm currently in Eastern Montana where the coyotes are thick and the shots can get long.

    Ron, I would think you'd be safe using load data for 60-65 grain bullets of the same style. Start towards the bottom of the load data suggestions and work up

    The Speer manual has tons of different loads using a 62gr with 223Rem. So does Accurate. --- SAWMAN

    You can load with 63gr or 65gr and load full range and be fine with them
