Default 52 Grain Berger Target HP

Can anyone with a Berger manual give me the recommended cartridge overall length for this bullet, #22408, in a 223 Remington. Use will be primarily in an AR15 with a Wylde chambered barrel. Thank you and stay healthy.

Thank you Joe!!! I was wondering about just loading them to mag length. My Hornady COL gauge showed I"d have enough room but I was unsure.

That is the typical mag OAL to function in the mag, no matter what bullet you have.

Understood. I settled on 25.5 grains of varget with the Sierra #1365 game king at 2.258". I put 10 rounds in .600" at 100 yards. Xcaliber 1/9 twist custom barrel. That was shooting of my sandbags on the roof of my Tundra at 100 yards. I am quite happy. It does 3/4 of an inch with the Sierra 1385 and 25.5 grains of H4895. The coyotes will be impressed this fall

You probably won't hear any complaints from a coyote hit by the 1365, I been shooting a 3200 fps load with the 50 gr sx, no exits works well on raccoon also.
