    1/12 twist Rem 700 .223

    I just aquired a Rem 700 .223 w/ varmint profile 26" barrel and it has a 1/12 twist barrel. I zeroed it the other day w/ Hornady 55 grain (not match just bulk ammo) and it was shooting sub-moa @ 100 yards. If I attempt to move to a heavier load (I don't reload....not just yet, so it would have...

    Gunsmithing 1 in 7 223 barrel for Rem Bolt gun

    OK who makes a good, 1 in 7 twist barrel blank I can put on my Rem 700 Varment? It shoots great with 53s but when I tried to shoot my HP rounds (77 grn SMKs) at a 100 yards I couldnt even get them to hit a 25 Yard Pistol RF 12 x 12 repair center. The same gun puts them where they are...

    RL-15 for .55gr .223 loads?

    I picked up the last 5lb jug of Reloader-15 at my local GS thinking that I could replace the scarce BLC(2) as my plinking/practice load in the AR. Well, it turns out that RL15 is apparently used for heavier bullets, but I have seen a few folks using it for 55gr rounds. Anyone have any...

    223 vs 308 to 600 yards..

    Say.. in a SHTF, Zombie Invasion or 3WW... for tactical shooting out to 600 yards, wich would you prefer? I know the 308 usually is king here.. but out to 600yards what would you prefer, and why? Pros and cons of the 223?

    Getting ready to start loading 223 seriously.

    I have loaded a bit a of 223/556 for ARs. But never really loaded for LR precision. I was fortunate enough to order one of the new Rem 700 5R Mil Spec and a Premier 3-15 to sit on it. So, I am getting ready to start loading for LR in 223. The components I have on hand are Varget, 4-5 boxes of...

    Bullet Identification 223 JHP BT 69 grain Cannalur

    Prior to hand loading .223 I purchased some Match 69 Grain from Georgia Arms Reloaders. This bullet appears to shoot extremely well in all of my AR 223 from the 16 to 20" and the 1:8 and 1:9 twist. I can not identify who makes a 69 grain JHP with a cannalur? They use 748 powder and what...

    Rem 700 5R in 223. Stock question.

    I am getting one of the Rem 700 5R's in 223. I am wondering what others who have these (in 223 or 308 or 300WM) think of the stock. I think they are full length bedding block HS Precision stocks. Is this the case? I was planning on getting a Mc A5 so it would be the same as my 308 GAP in feel...
