.223 loads for the Savage-Success Stories

[pawz68]

I've set up my new Savage 10FP and 6x24 Tasco Mil-dot scope and I'm ready to roll. I'm looking for some good explosive accurate woodchuck loads which could double for homeland defense rounds. Share with me your handload recipes and performance observations. Thanks!

My Savage likes LC brass with a max load of BLc-2. 50gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. But they're not very explosive. For the times I need a little more expansion I use Sierra HP. But then you have to make sure you watch COL or they may not feed right.
