    .223 bolt gun accuracy expectations

    No you are not wasting time you just have fewer options than someone that reloads. You are stuck with what your guns harmonics like and sometimes factory ammo matches the gun as well as (or close) to reloads. There are several levels to reloading to squeek more out of a gun. If you get a...

    69gr SMK good for AR15 semi not bolt?

    This is what I'm dealing with, one of my three LE 6920 seems to scratch up the rounds a bit more. It feeds fine just mars up the bullets and seems to set back some of the non canicular 69gr bullets. The 55gr bullets don't move at all but they have a canicular crimp ring.

    69gr SMK good for AR15 semi not bolt?

    I think I figured out some of the issue on setback Its the feed ramp on my newer LE 6920. It has a sharp edge someplace because it leaves a long scratch on the bullets. This is not an issue with typical NATA 5.56 ammo 55gr they have bullets with a canicular they don't budge. Feed ramps...

    69gr SMK good for AR15 semi not bolt?

    I guess I could run them all through the crimp die and just guess as to how much crimp I need. Next time at the range maybe I can hand load the non crimped ones and compare to ones I crimped to see if there is any differance. I worry a little of bullet set back where it goes from 2.250" to...

    69gr SMK good for AR15 semi not bolt?

    I know are some old threads on crimping but after doing some tesing with new starline brass and two different brands of 69gr 223 bullets I think having that crimp ring that the 55gr have is best. I have two Newer Colt 6920s ARs that I tested with. I have new starline brass that I only did a...

    CCI 450 / BR4 primer experiences?

    I would like to add that what he calls a "Mild load of 22.3gr of h335 is near MAX load on Hodgedons. 24gr of 334 + 77gr bullet is way over Max load. The CCI primers being softer give a little more feedback on pressure. Would be interesting to see loads of 21gr (mild) to the max of 22.6gr...

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Yes I hear you on that and agree. My undergrad was in physics. :). I've hunted a bunch when younger then took a break. We never looked at ballistics much then. I'm new to the centerfire/ballistics game. With todays high speed cameras and technology I would have thought this would...

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Yes I bet that is a shooter. But I'm not really into the AR looks, more traditional hunting rifle. I'm leaning heavy towards a Sako 85 in .204 or maybe a cooper.

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Well a football is tossed at like 40mph and 100 rpm vs a bullet doing 4000fps and 200,000 rpm. Not quite apples to apples comparison. I think there is some argument as to exactly why they don't shoot well with too many rpms (ie mild casting imperfections get magnified) but it seems to be...

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Use on Woodchucks, Pdogs, small game and paper punching. No interest in AR platform. At least as good or better than my 17 wsm at 100 yards. .25-.75 inch. In 20mph wind it will open to .75 to over 1". That is using cheap rim fire ammo. If I step up to center fire and shoot...

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Its like the 5th post or video Ive seen on the 1/8 twist tikka. I'm saying I'm not sure I want one in 1/8. Maybe 1/12 twist for lighter bullets bu they don't have a 1/12. I think the 1/8th is for people shooting longer and heavier bullets.

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Lol they don't share the p.dogs? I call all closer shots to be rim fire only, sorry folks I need a use for my WSM. I guess I should get a 204 then or maybe a 6.5 CM to get them far dogs.

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Just saw this video on the Tikka in 223 1/8 twist. Not impressed at all. I'm use to .25 to .75 groups from my 17 rim fire. I thought center fire was suppose to be more not less precision.

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Yes I am thinking on this, maybe over thinking :) But I've read quite a few posts like this. "Regarding the twist rate. Originally I was thinking of getting the 1/8 twist so that I can shoot larger grain bullets, however my local dealer advised me to go with the 1/12 twist for my intended...

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    I called Euro on the Tikka but they only have it in 1/8" twist not 1/12. Tikka T3x Varmint .223 Rem Rifle JRTXH312 I like to blow up the varmints with lighter bullets. 40gr I think 1/12 in .223 would be better. I could get one in 22-250 in 1/14.

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    Thanks for the corrections, did not mean to irritate you will the creedmoor mispelling or the using clip instead of the proper term "Magazine" I have a buddy that thinks the opposite, that buying a high dollar gun with a barrel that will wear out in just as many rounds is dumb. Better to buy...

    TIKKA T3x Super Varmint SS or Bergara HMR Pro in 22-250

    I saw I can get a Remington 700 ADL Varmint for like 400.00. (100.00 off) In 22-250, 223, 300, 6.5 creedmore. I could get two guns for under 1k 223 and a creedmore, shoot them and see which round I like then get a better gun in the preferred caliber. I read that the 700 ADL adcutally is...
