I'm about to get into loading .223 ammo. I have 55 grain FMJ bullets coming and I've chosen CFE223 as my powder. I put that info into the Hodgson site and it came back with two loads:

55 grain BAR TSX FB, starting load of 24.7 grains and a COAL of 2.180

55 grain SPR SP, starting load of 26 grains and a COAL of 2.200

I have some books I will check but I figure I'd start here. First of all, I have no idea what types of bullets were listed on that site. I just load for plinking and bought a 55 grain FMJ. Second of all, could I use either of those recipes with the bullet I have. I intent to load just over minimum powder. I will load up a few, to see if they pass before I settle on a recipe.

Thanks for any help!!
