    17 Remington 223 parent brass.

    I'd consider it overbore. Maybe there's a more precise definition I'm not aware of, but I have no problem calling it so. They also build up copper really quickly, so you'll be cleaning with a CU remover quite often. Barrel life is around 800-1250 from what I've read. Really fun round though. I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best EDC Pocket Knife?

    For work - SOG Terminus XR ($50). Pretty good D2 tool steel, great XR lock (upgraded version of Benchmade Axis lock), and feels good in the hand. For out and about - Benchmade Bugout 535 ($140). Love the S30V steel and is extremely lightweight, so much so I most often forget I have it on me.

    Reloading Equipment Wtb 223 ai dies

    2nd owner of these. Still in pretty good shape as far as I can tell. It leaves some really small striations on the neck, cosmetic from what I’ve read on forums like this and could be removed with a brush and polishing compound I think. I included a picture. No scoop or shell holder. Also, the...

    Reloading Equipment Wtb 223 ai dies

    I have a set of Lee FL 223 AI dies, pretty sure everything is still in there. Let me take a look when I get home and OP has first dibs if he's still looking. If not, other posters can tell me if they're interested.

    Bottom metal for 223 bolt gun build

    Did you try modding your Accurate Mag yet to run long? While my throat isn't terribly long in my AI (0.061" I think), I still have plenty of room left after seating 80 ELDs in my mag. I can't remember what I opened it to, but want to say I have room for 2.600" or so. What are your 90's running...

    Rifle Scopes Something New From Vortex

    Got to love people shitting on a new budget option that might not be for them but is going to be a great deal for many new shooters getting into the hobby not wanting to spend $1700 on a Razor Gen 2. Or for people like me who do not need Tier 1 glass on a gun that might get out a couple times a...

    Something New From Vortex

    Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but looks like Vortex is rolling out a new/updated 5-25 scope in their lineup. With their release of the 5-25 Strike Eagle not long ago I'd think this might be something on the higher end, but have no idea...

    Rifle Scopes Something New From Vortex

    The date is definitely 5/25. I'd bet my retirement and left nut that there's a reason they're releasing it 5/25.

    Nice rig, love that mini Badger bolt handle. What BR kit are you running in the mag?

    22-250 heavy bullets for coyote hunting.

    Really hoping to try out 60gr TMKs on a coyote this spring. Will likely be out of my 22" 224 Valkyrie AR, but I suppose I could drag my 26" 223AI bolt gun out as well. My AI load had them going about 3425 fps.

    Bergara HMR 14 6.5 CM early range reporting

    Looks great. Am wondering if that cheek riser is comfortable for you. I don't think I've ever seen one that high up before, especially with normal height rings.
