223/for distance

Aside from the difficulty of getting consistent velocities with .223, and the lower impact signature, the 88s or 85.5s should be in the ballpark of being reasonably competitive with the 6mms, with some serious advantages in recoil & cost. I'll probably try a barrel set up for 88s when my current 6GT barrel dies

I had planned (even ordered the barrel black) to shoot 223AI for open class, but project never ended up happening.

With a 26"+ barrel 88s ate 2800fps should be pretty easy to achieve, which puts you in 6BR ballistic territory., not sure a vanilla 223 would get much more than 2700sfp without an exotic powder though.

The Greatest Archaeological and Technological Discovery of Mankind

LRRPF52
The 1800s had all kinds of interesting claims about the Pyramids and Sphinx, including hidden chambers, halls, records, shafts, secret entrances, etc.

The Brits and Muslims were very interested in these ideas, hence the level of excavation and exploration finances by various universities.

I don’t subscribe to any of the New Age claims about the Pyramids made famous by the Rosicrucians and Ed Cayce, but I don’t rule out what others deem impossible or unlikely.

A&D Fx120i Scale

S
I use a RCBS MatchMaster and have been happy with it. I have read a lot about the A&D Fx-120I scale and wondered how my MatchMaster would compare. So I decided to order one and see for myself. The scale seems to be a well made, quality piece of equipment. I warmed up and calibrated both units. I dropped powder for 30 rounds of 300 WM with 70g of RE22 then weighed on the A&D. I had 7 rounds that read .02g lighter and 1 that was .02 heavier on the A&D. The rest were an exact match. Since each kernel weighs approx .04g, In the end it made no difference in what I was already doing. Maybe I just got lucky with 1 use but we will see what happens over time.

Maybe some day someone will create a .243 USA AI ( a .264 USA necked down to 6mm with a 40 degree shoulder ) who knows? Maybe an AR-12 (Midsize) Platform!! Just random thoughts!!

If you have 2.600” COL, then you would want to look at .257” and crush all the 6mms quite easily, and most of the 140gr 6.5mm for BC using 131-138gr 25 cals.

But it’s only .2” shorter than 7.62x51/6.5CM etc.
