    Ruger STAR 308 ?

    Sometimes you wonder why someone has never introduced a small framed AR in 308. Ruger does it. Surprise! It shoots like it's price point.

    I'm on my last box of 500. My 223AI loves them.

    In my experience, the 75 and 80 ELD-M want to be close to the lands. The only complaint that I have heard with N540 is that is burns hotter and can erode a barrel quicker. In a 223, I don't see that being an issue, and have had good succes with it. Berger is always a more consistent choice...

    You may want to turn that load up a little bit. I'm running 24.9 N540 with the 80 ELD and load them long, 2.500" The last time I was out, using LC brass, I was seeing 2881 average with an SD of 9. That was only 5 shots, and I don't remember the ES, but I want to say it was in the low 20s.

    Sour Dough Balistics

    I'm no expert, but if it has bubbles and doesn't smell funky, that's a good batch in my experience.

    .223 - 5.56

    Nicely done. The 75 ELD @ 2970 will get to 1000, no sweat.

    .223 - 5.56

    Everyone's chamber is a little different, but you should be fine at that distance. I run the 75 ELD at 2.405 COAL with 8208XBR and that is around .020 off the lands from what I remember. Let us know the N540 load when you get it dialed in. I'm running 24.9 N540 with the 80 ELD-M, CCI 450, LC...

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    I have a hard time believing AR would mix powders. There are recent posts where new and old lots of Varget look different. It could also be something like RG4895. I had quite a bit of that back when Wideners would sell 8 pounders for $109. It shot really well.

    H335 is a good ball powder. It was the hot ticket in the 90s, but these days it takes a backseat to the stick powders like Varget, 8208XBR, and N140.
