    .223 with a 77gr SMK???

    I just built up another AR but instead of the typical 16" or even 20" barrel... I put on a 24" Fluted Bull Barrel. I took it out this last weekend and ran some cheap 55gr FMJ at 50yds doing a barrel break-in. It placed 5rds in the same hole so I'm a little excited to load some heavy match-grade...

    Can any of you recommend what the best bullet weight would be for .223/5.56? Its a 16" M4 profile 1 x 9" R.H. twist/6 grooves & lands chrome lined barrel with a Izzy Suppressor. I'm looking at some Black Hills Bulk, and was wondering if someone could help. Thanks, -Pat

    223 AI

    Just started working on loads for a 223 AI. Barrel is Kreiger 1/6.5 twist. I want to use Breger 90gr VLD. I have a excellent load using Varget but was wondering if anybody has worked with any other powders, for this cartridge and bullet. Obveous reason is unavailability of Varget, but I'm also...

    FGM .223,69gr Serra Match King BTHP

    Well I'm sure this is more of a ballistics questions, as opposed to a hunting question. So on to the question. With a 20" Hvy contour barrel with a 1 in 8. What can I expect shooting this bullet weight? Now the rifle is being designed around a 300-600 "varmint" gun (ie) coyote.Would a 22" make...

    Savage 12 LRPV .223...

    I picked up a Savage 12 LRPV in .223 today, and took it to the range to shoot with my 10FP .308. I mounted a Nikon Monarch 5.5-16.5x44AO, and tried a few loads I had laying around. I finally got around to trying some factory Fiocchi Exacta Match ammo I bought at the gun show, and it shot very...

    Who has used SM Mag Pistol Primers in a .223?

    I came across some FGMM Small Magnum primers today and some people said you could use them in .223 loads for bolt, but not AR.. Its fine if you can't cause I can sell them or use them for other things, but just wanted to know?

    .223 carbide dies

    Are they worth the money? Dillon wants well over $100 for a single die. I find it hard to pay that much, but I do find full length sizing to be a bit laborious. I guess I was coddled by loading .45 ACP exclusively for about a year. Now lubing seems like a huge pain in the ass. I've been...

    Remington 700 5-R .223

    I am looking for a new 223 and have been learning about the 5-R rifle from Remington. Is this worth the up cost over the other factory varmint rifles(rem 700 vlss or savage 12 btcss)? Is 5-R rifleing that much better? I will be shooting this out to 600yds.
