    223 version of the RPR

    Well I have conclusions on a single load device for the 556/223. There are none. The bobsled does not work and I have ruined a 308 AI mag and a ruger 223 mag trying every mod I could come up with. pvc, epoxy, etc. I even contacted ruger. They do not care. This rifle was accurate out of the box...

    223 version of the RPR

    You are absolutely correct in your accuracy statement. We are getting very good results with 75-90 grainers. 28", 1-7 barrels. I will put this rpr 223 up against anything here to 600 yds. Wind reading skills will be in effect also. Bartlein SS, 4 groove barrels, 28", 1-7 twist, White Oak 2"...

    New build for the 6.5 Grendel Wildcat fans... 6mm Fat Rat

    Most of my AR loads have fairly flat primers also but with this load today I still had ejector smears same as before with all the above loads I tested.

    I will call in the am. I loaded some sierra 95's to just try a milder load with necked down cases to help with the tight chamber neck. I lowered the charge to 28.5 R15, 2.27 oal and Br4 primers. I didn't bother with a chrono because I just wanted to check for pressure signs after neck turning. I...

    Thanks guys. I have already emailed Lee. The head space should be fine. I bumped it back .004. The bolt came from Holliger with the barrel. It is a LMT that he recommended. In the mean time I am going to play with some loads and see what I get. This is a great discussion.

    The loads that I have tested so far has only been aprox: 150 rounds after fireforming. To this point I have not hit 2800 others say they get with anything without extreme pressure signs. Actually every load fired has had the pressure signs no matter which load. The names on the cartridge face...

    I am interested in the velocities you get as you test with different bullets and powders. I have a 6rat (not the fatrat) and get nowhere near the advertised velocities others say they do. I am about ready to give up on this thing. Anything over 2700 fps with a 87, 95, 105 amax or 107 flattens...
