[quote="Oldbloke"]I have a 223 and have been thinking of developing a mild load for areas where distance is shortish and noise is an issue. Along the lines of a 22 mag or Hornet load.
I would like to use the Hornady 55gn Soft points using AS-50N. I'm temped to try it starting at 6.0 gn of AS-50N with the Hornady 55gn Soft point.
Not sure if this helps but here's my 4gr Tail Boss Load, I don't have a chrono, but it's sub sonic and about as loud as a standard .22LR. At 100 mtrs, I collected this from the target...backed my 2 mm mild steel which it managed to penetrate before falling just behing the target. Projectile was a Sierra 55gr Spitzer, and the remains weighed 53.4grs, so it held together pretty well.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead, it's only difficult for the others,
it's the same when you are stupid.
