I started load development on my 223 Ackley gas gun. It is an 18 inch Kreiger or Bartlien (cant remember which) barrel with rifle length gas.
I have a ton of CFE223 and 55gn Hornady FMJs. I used to use Varget, but it has been hard to find and it is still pretty expensive. CFE is easy to find in 8 pound jugs and is cheap.
Book max for a regular 223 is 27.8 gns so that is where I started for the Ackley.
I got to 29.5 with no pressure signs and flawless function. I hadnt loaded any more because I assumed I would be seeing pressure.
Once I chrono some and check for accuracy I might consider playing with the gas a little bit.
I am hoping to have a solid load by mid week so I can load up a bunch. I already have a 5 gallon bucket full of fire formed brass.
I need to round up some CFE223, it has been the best I have tried in the 6.5 Grendel so far.

5 gallons of ammo should last me a while.
