Chrono Data - Federal XM223SP1 62gr Bonded

[DRT]

Seems weak. Did you by chance measure COAL? Would be grateful to get a charge weight on a pulled round.

Not the most powerful .223 for sure, but I honestly think that this bullet would do better, by that I mean hold together better, when fired out of a shorter barrel with less velocity.

COAL = 2.231" (via lyman dial caliper)
Charge Wt. = 24.2gr (Wonder how this compares to the 64gr Gold Dot?)
Bullet Wt. = 61.8gr (somewhat mangled getting it out of the case since I don't have a bullet puller)

Weights measured with an old RCBS beem scale.
