Title: source of .223 45gr JHP projectiles
Post by: TRD1911 on December 21, 2022, 02:23:53 PM: Trying to match a load for my mother in-laws .223 bolt gun. She really likes the Winchester white box varmint rounds but I can't seem to source 45gr jhp projectiles. Any suggestions where to track them down? Also, if anyone's tried to copy that load let me know what you went with, thanks

I don't think they have done a production run on them for a long time.

Your own I would step up to 50gn. A lot available in that weight. Sucks but I have switched some loads over to what’s easiest to find.

Literally hit the jackpot with both of my In-laws. My wife wasn't so lucky with her additions, ha! My MIL was the one that got me into elk hunting out here as well. Really amazing people.

Thanks for all the links. I'll see if those 45gr hornady projectiles will work
