    223 version of the RPR

    I’ve not had one single problem feeding with mine, I’ve only used the two mags that came with the rifle so I can’t speak for any aftermarket mags. I’ve run factory loads at 2.260 oal and habdloads our to 2.465 oal none of them have giving me any problems at all

    AR mag length

    As stated above ACS are very affordable and can handle a longer coal. The small frame AR15 Mags can handle a little over 2.300

    223 version of the RPR

    Some barrels are faster than others, could be a difference in powder lots, or a combination of the two. I was getting 2787 with the eld’s and 23.9 of 8208 until I filled the firing pin down and the velocity dropped. Never could get it to act right after that so I sent the bolt off to have it...

    223 version of the RPR

    I talked to them this morning and the told me 2 to 4 weeks turn around. That’s what they told me a few months ago to when I first started thinking about having it done but I hated to have it down that long, now I don’t have much choice

    223 version of the RPR

    Up until I filed down the pin I was getting excellent results. For a 20 round string I was getting single digit SD’s can’t remember what off the top of my head. Now that load is garbage. I’m sending to Gre’tan rifles, they charge 80 bucks

    223 version of the RPR

    I ran another 5 round test with the 24.5 gr loaf and it was everywhere, I’m getting inconsistent ignition is the only thing I can come up with. I’m shipping the bolt out today to have it bushed and the firing pin reworked.

    223 version of the RPR

    Well I filed down the firing pin to .040 and all my cratering problems went away. Problems is accuracy went to shit barely holding 1 moa, es and ss’s went through the roof, and velocity dropped from 2787 to 2750. I played around with load devolvement again and the numbers were all over the place...

    I would definitely recommend one, sure they have a few minor issues but most factory rifles do and for the money you can’t beat them in my opinion. If your looking for a trainer rifle it’s best to have one set up like your main rifle so this is as close as your gonna get.

    Sorry didn’t see your reply til after I posted.

    No Ruger doesn’t do this a smith will. The firing pin is turned down and fitted to a bushing that’s installed in the bolt face, this eliminates the excess play and slop in the firing pin fitment that contributes to primer cratering at normal load pressures.

    223 version of the RPR

    I may file mine down a bit but plan on having it bushed at some point. It’s turned into one of my favorite rifles so I hate to have it out of commission for any length of time.

    22 Nosler in an AR

    I don’t own one but a friend of mine had one for awhile. Pretty neat cartridge but as stated above it won’t handle the high BC bullets at mag length. Your going to have that problem in a necked down 6.8 as well. You could give the Hornady 73 grain ELD’s a try. They work good at mag length and...

    223 version of the RPR

    I had good results with that combination up to 2850 FPS with very low SD’s I just backed off cause I was having bad primer cratering due to the shift firing pin fitment. I may try and file it down shorter like someone suggest in this tread earlier

    Mine loves the 80 eld's over 23.9 grains of 8208

    AR recoil reduction

    Not a bad idea but the rifle is set up for longer ranges and it loves the 73 eld's so I'm not changing the load. I broke the barrel in with some 52 grain loads I had from another AR and it was definitely lighter recoiling. Like I stated earlier I was mainly just curious and I've seen some of the...

    AR recoil reduction

    Kills me how some people can't help but be assholes, read the damn thread next time before being a smartass. I was strictly asking out of curiosity.
