    Rifle Scopes 30mm scope on a .223???

    I have a .223 Remington LTR I am going to be setting up soon. I have the option of a 30mm tubed Leupold MK4 3.5x10x40 and a 1"Leupold variX3 "tactical" 3.5x10x40. I have suitable mounts for them both so there would be no extra cost involved to use either scope. I plan on using the rifle for...

    223AI velocity gains over the 223?

    Has anyone used both these chambering's, and what is the realistic velocity difference between the two? I'm trying to decide which reamer to run into barrel that will arrive in a few weeks. It's an 8 twist barrel and I will probably use the 75gr A-Max as my primary bullet in the rifle. Thanks.

    Hornady .223 53gr w/c

    Can someone inform me what the w/c is all about. All I can find about it is that it means; "With Candler" is that correct? Is that something to do with crimping? Is it ok to run in both bolt and AR-15? Hornady .223 53gr HP Match w/c #HO8023

    Loose .223 primer pockets

    Using Lake City brass as an example, does anyone have some guidance on how many reloads I can perform before primer pocket expansion will become a concern? Other than the feel of the primer as it's inserted, are there any precursors to look for before things get to the "gas escaping from the...

    Remington 700 .223 in an AICS?

    I know that the .223 short action will fit into the AICS chassis, but is there any way to modify the mags (like bending the feed lips) so that the magazines can be used with this chassis? I have tweeked the lips of the .300 win mag so that it will feed a 6.5x55SE, but I don't see this working...

    What new trigger to put in my DPMS 223?

    I have a DPMS 223 and I while it shoots great, there is still something to be desired in the trigger. I was thinking either a RRA 2 stage or a Timney drop in. I'd like to get to 3#. Any recommendations?

    I want to start loading for my AR and am looking to buy a quantity of brass. I probably will be loading 75g bullets for accuracy to 500-600 yards. There is a lot of once fired LC available.
