    .223AI Varget vs RL15

    Now that my .223AI is put together, I'm looking to develop a good load for it. From what I've found Varget and RL15 are the two most popular choices. It seems I see more loads with the RL15 though. I think I remember seeing something somewhere once where people were talking about RL15 giving...

    223AI 62 TSX with Benchmark

    Has anyone used this combo in an 8 twist? I'm shooting them coated in hBN and starting at 23.5 and going to the case neck 25.5+/-. With these suckers being pricey and all I'm certainly receptive to advice.

    My .223AI is finally almost done *PICS*

    3 months of waiting for my barrel and my gunsmith work paid off yesterday! I still have to inlet my stock a bit more for a good free float, but I wanted to throw it all together for a quick pic. Also, once I get the stock done I'll be painting the barrel black. Thanks to a bunch of guys here...

    223ai completed

    Well, after what feels like forever, my 223ai is finally complete. The first gunsmith I took the components to did a fine job of truing everything up, but the barrel was chambered incorrectly and the brass would blow in half. Unfortunately, the problem was not corrected in a satisfactory manner...

    CCI 450's for 223AI?

    I got my hands on a 1000 CCI 450's today and was wondering if anyone's tried them in 223AI with RL15 and 75gr AMAX's

    Gunsmithing Pick a barrel length for my .223AI (with a poll!)

    I'm currently waiting for my gunsmith to get my Lilja barrel so it can be instaled on my action. Initially I told him to finish it to 27". A week or so later I called him and asked him to make it 24" when it came in. Since then I've been reading more here and learning and it seems lots of people...

    Range Report 223AI 1/8 twist 75 or 80 AMAX

    I was planning on shooting the 75 AMAX out of my rifle but have had a hard time finding bulk boxes. Does anyone have experience with the 80 grain AMAX out of a 8 twist 223 or 223 AI? I just want to make sure that velocity and stability are not limiting factors. I figure that 2750 would be be a...

    80gr. .223AI loads?

    Hey everyone, I'm new here. I'm building my first real accurate bolt rifle (Remy 700) in .223AI. The action is currently with my gunsmith awaiting a 1:8 Lilja barrel. I know the 75gr. A-Max is a really popular projectile for this cartridge. Does anyone have any experience loading with the 80gr...

    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.
