    223 Dies

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of dies for my AR. I am either going with a set of Redding or the Forster benchrest set. I have heard that the Forster full length die has the expander up high in the die so the case is supported more or better during the expanding part. What do you guys think?

    Tricks for keeping a .223 projectile straight

    I just started reloading .223 am I'm having a hard time keeping the projectile straight before seating it. When I can keep it straight, it seats fine, but if it gets a little crooked before seating, it keeps screwing up the casing neck and then I have to resize it. What can I do to assure it...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 .223 custom build?

    Hello from Australia ... I'm looking to build up a grunty .223 "back up" (ie, one that's a no brainer to shoot, and that I can toss to a buddy for a weekend) based on a Remington 700 action. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of .223 (my other Rems are in .308, and a VERY heavy '250), but...

    Range Report F/ TR 308 vs 223

    I would like to get involved with F/TR shooting/competition. In reading the .260 thread, it got me thinking about whether I should chamber a rifle in 223 or 308 to compete. I like the idea of getting a 223 due to powder cost and recoil. How competitive is the 223 with 80 or 90g bullets...

    Copycat load of Hornady .223 REM 75gr. BTHP Match

    Bought a few boxes of these for $12.95 from CMP last fall and my stash is rapidly dwindling with my recent purchase of a Savage 12 BVSS 26" barreled .223 Rem. This rifle really likes them, shooting 1/2 MOA regularly. I tried some of my homegrown, but load development can be hit and miss and so...

    223 case priming

    Hey guys I have been reloading once fired brass but most of the brass does not have a beveled primer pocket. So when you try to re-prime them it usually damages the primer. To fix the problem I have been using a deburring tool to bevel the pocket but I was hopeing that somebody had a better...

    Hunting & Fishing 223 for a muley

    I was thinking of using my RRA Coyote to hunt mule deer this fall. I know that my shots will have to be close but I usually hunt archery or muzzy so that shouldn't be a problem. Has anyone used the Barnes 62 grn X bullets?

    .223 Loading

    Hey guys, I have a rem 700 26 inch 1:12 in .223, and I am going to start reloading for it. I have been reloading for my .308 for a long time, and I was just wondering what powder charge/bullet combo you are having good results with. I am looking for something that will turn Pdogs wrong side...

    223 AI build on a Howa or Rem 700

    I have both actions available for this build. I like the Rem because you can get anything for it, but the Vanguard/Howa action seems to feed the 223AI much easier and smoother IMO. I've been reading a lot about the 223AI and the 75 amax bullets. Seems to be a great little setup in an 8 twist...

    IMR 4198, too fast for the 223....

    ...in an AR? Tried some IMR4198 with some 60gr fodder at max load and it's not cycling the action in my AR. Is this too fast a powder for this application? hangunnr
