The .17 caliber will blow off target with a 10 mph breeze much easier than the .223

RE: reloading 223 with blue dot

A lot of guys will hesitate to give actual recipes in fear of getting sued.

If you ever try IMR 3031 in .223, I have a good load that shoots VERY accurate out of 3 different rifles.
