I've used one for about four years, mainly for PD hunts, and a little coyote hunting.

Shooter65,
No personal experience, but I do remember a thread about the 223ai in a semi. A couple of smith's chimed in and stated "ackleys would tend to have feeding issues". I am pretty sure I remember this correctly.

Re: 223 ai upper
I've made several and they have all functioned without problems. The large frame AR is where the ackleys dont get along with the big case and sharp shoulder.

Re: 223 ai upper
Mine were all in a 1/14" with lighter bullets. I can check with my buddy he shot 69smk in his with Varget I think (1/9). It's been a long time since I've loaded any. I think it was about 1.5 gr.over max load. I used Benchmark with a compressed load with 40 and 50 Vmax.

Re: 223 ai upper
40 vmax 28.5 up to 30 gr. (3800+ out of 22" barrel) of Benchmark. 50 vmax 27 gr. of benchmark.
Work up to these numbers
***Use at your own risk****
In commercial case not MIl.

Yes, The fire form loads usually shoot as good as the AI stuff in my experience. They dont form a nice sharp shoulder in the gas gun like a bolt gun does, but they work.

Good to know I've wanted to build a 6mm TCU in an AR platform but was afraid of forming brass in the AR wouldn't work.
