    223AI Need Help

    I need some help. 1st off I'm not a very experienced reloader and I was hoping someone could use Quickload or had some insight as to if I'm going to blow my face off? I have a 223AI and I'm using the Nosler 70gr RDF with Varget. I checked Hodgdon reloading page for the 223R, max load of Varget...

    223 A.I. vs 224 Valkyrie

    The barreled action was put together by L.R.I. using a Surgeon 591 action, Bartlein 27" 1-7 5R barrel. I bolted it into the "evil" Mcree Precision G5 chassis, DBM is integral with the chassis. I gave LRI a dummy 223R and they set up the Ackley chamber to shoot the Berger 90gr VLD Target at a...

    223 A.I. vs 224 Valkyrie

    Niles Coyote, Thanks for those pictures. That 95 Sierra is huge, something like 1.3" long. Looks like optimal COAL would be around 2.5" to 2.6"

    223 A.I. vs 224 Valkyrie

    Those were some fun days in PD town. The 53gr V-Max is very entertaining.

    223 A.I. vs 224 Valkyrie

    I'm using a 5 round 308 Win. aics magazine that I modified. Bent the feed lips in and put a little epoxy putty on the mag walls to make it slimmer so it single stacks the rounds. It runs 7 rounds of 223rem and 223AI 80gr eld-m at a COAL of 2.625" smoothly. I still have about 1/4" left in the mag...

    223 A.I. vs 224 Valkyrie

    I cant really say, I have so much brass that I haven't even made it through them all 3 times yet. So far so good. Big buckets of brass is probably the main advantage the A.I. has over the Valkyrie.

    223 A.I. vs 224 Valkyrie

    Hi Everyone, I'm interested in building 224 Valkyrie bolt gun. Watching Frank make hits at a mile and at 2112 yards really got me thinking about this neat little round. I currently use a 223 A.I. with a 27" 1-7 twist barrel. I push the 80gr ELD-M at 3050 fps with 25.5gr of Varget. I've just...

    Need Help Spending Money

    I'm looking to spend $3000 on a factory rifle. I will primarily be using this rifle to hunt deer and hogs at under 500 yards. I occasionally shoot at steel and rocks out to 1200 yards. I'd like the rifle to be about 10lbs without scope and chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I already have a few custom...
