    Range Report HSM .223 50 V Max

    I've been a pretty die hard 75gr BH Match guy for quite a long time. Still will use it a lot, but ordered a 1,000 rounds of the HSM reman 50 V Max. No other way to say it, but this shit shoots. Very impressed out of 2 different 16" AR's and going to run some over a Chrony tomarrow with an 8...

    223 AI dies

    I bought a Lee FL and bullet seater a while back. It has worked fine until a couple of weeks ago. Then is started sticking cases. No matter how much lube I use (or what kind) cases stick. I cleaned the die, polished it and cleaned it again. Still sticking. Any ideas?

    Gunsmithing Light primer strikes R700 223 AI, J lock?

    I just got my rifle back from the smith. I loaded up 50 fireforming loads with Lapua brass, CCI BR4's and H-335& Benchmark. I had several rounds that required 2-3 strikes to ignite the primer. Could the J lock cause this? What else might cause it? I'm hoping it's not the primers as I have...
