Frequently Asked Questions
.223 WSSM Ammo - 64 Grain
What is the drop at 300 yards for 223 WSSM?
At 300 yards with a 100-yard zero, .223 WSSM drop varies by load. The 55-grain load at 3,850 fps drops approximately 4.4 inches. The 64-grain Power Point load will drop more due to the heavier bullet's lower velocity and different ballistic profile.
How does 223 WSSM compare to 22-250?
.223 WSSM and .22-250 produce virtually identical velocities and similar accuracy despite their different case designs. .22-250 has significantly better ammunition availability and rifle selection, while .223 WSSM offers a shorter action. Both are capable performers, but .22-250 is the more practical choice for most shooters.
How much is a 223 WSSM ammo?
.223 WSSM prices vary widely, from around $43 to as high as $130 per box of 20. Winchester and Browning produced this discontinued cartridge, so availability is limited. Expect fewer options and higher prices from specialty retailers. Check GunBroker or Ammoseek for current listings.
What is the parent case of 223 WSSM?
The .300 WSM is the parent case of the .223 WSSM. Winchester necked it down to accept a .224 caliber bullet, reducing the shoulder angle from 35 to 28 degrees to accommodate the extreme case reduction.
What is the best powder for 223 WSSM?
Hodgdon Varget is a top choice for 40-60 grain bullets, while H1000 delivers excellent velocities and accuracy. IMR 4350 works well for heavier match bullets like 68 and 75 grain. IMR 4064 is a secondary option. Since this cartridge is discontinued, published load data is limited, so start conservatively.
