    62 gr tracer

    I tried to search this question but got nothing. Can someone who has had experience tell me where to start with the 62 gr tracers that I just bought from sage please? I have multiple powders to choose from. Your input is appreciated sense I cant find data on these. I dont want to use published data because of how long they are. Thanks for the help.

    Use 69gr SMK data. That's what Wes recommended.

    Have you loaded for these? Which one would you suggest. I am not a velocity guy, I load for low sd. I know I wont be loading these for accuracy, but will still strive for decent performance.

    I have not loaded these yet. I use H335 primarily for .223. From the data I've researched 21.5gns is a good starting point. That's on the low side.

    Loaded up some with Varget and H335. As usual the case fill with varget is good but might be a little much for these. But we will see!

    Loaded up some 62gr tracers with H335
    Started at 22.0gns and worked up in .5 increments to 23.5gns. Hope to test these soon and I'll post my results.
