    .223/5.56 77gr precision loads - to crimp or not to crimp?

    Depends on your goals. I actually kind of like crimping - for some ammo. For what it's worth, when I shoot reduced 200 yard high power matches, I use Hornady 55 gr ball projectiles, and I crimp with Lee FCD. Shoot good to me - I shot a 488/500 last week, with only three 9's on the reduced...

    55 gr bullet & Varget in a 20" AR15

    Just my opinion, but Varget's a bit wasted on 55 gr bullets. It's a better powder for heavy bullets, and it's a bit hard to find right now - seems a shame to burn it behind 55's when there are many many powders out there good for 55's.

    What are .223 reloading costs per round?

    Pretty close to my costs. 6000 rounds of 55 Hornady from Wideners. Funny thing is, 3031 is a remarkably good powder with that bullet, and I use that cheap ball load for high-power out to 200 yards, with great results. But I use a Chargemaster to mass throw 3031 - because it doesn't meter...

    AR Comp 77SMK HPBT

    Thread resurrection! I picked up some ARComp at Camp Perry this year, and have to say I must have gotten a different lot. I tested my loads in the 99 degree Texas heat. (in the shade). I got very different results than reported above. Here is what I got: Brass: LC, 0.244 bushing Redding...

    Neighbor/gun rant

    Re: Neighbor/gun rant Not sure where you live, but unless there is a noise ordinance and you are shooting during the day, there is little she can do. Here is what she will likely do - continue to call the county Sheriff to complain about noise. They will come out a few times. One of them...

    Saudi Arabia - civilian travel

    Re: Saudi Arabia - civilian travel Saudi's not so bad - just dull mostly. Not the greatest time of year - winter would be better. Ramadan is going on now. Which means everything shuts down during the day for their month of fasting. A spiritual moment where one suffers by not eating and...
