Re: Good load for 5r milspec .223 Tried the 69gn Smk's wit adi 2206h and bm2 they weren't too impressive. About 1-1.5 moa never tried 2208 which is the same as varget. Best result so far was with 55gn Hornady vmax's which are generally fat for caliber so I was going to do some load...

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone has a good load for a 5r in .223 rem. it seems to be pretty fussy on ammo so just thought I would ask the question. Has grouped .3" then 1.5" with the same type of factory ammo but from different batches

Re: Poll: What reticle & turrets are you using? Ok so all im convinced of is that even though mil may not be 100% a metric system it is better suited to a metric system because both work in a 1/1000 scale so as far as I'm concern mil is for metric and moa is for imperial because they each...

Re: Poll: What reticle & turrets are you using? google search imperial angles it is calculated in minutes and seconds ie: moa. If you search metric angles it's radians ie: milrad/ mrad/ mil. It's not a matter of not getting it look at the way the reference works find same drawing in moa and...

Re: Poll: What reticle & turrets are you using? Yes it is an angle but that is because the further the distance the larger the value of 1 click is but it's the click value that changes between moa and mil. Moa 1 click at 100yds is about 1/4 of an inch where as mil 1 click at 100m is about...
