I’m more interested in what the original barrel was and who you bought it from. No experience with BA barrels, can’t help there.

That whole deal could have hurt someone by having that sort of mix up. I'm shocked they weren't more apologetic and more accomodating.

I’ve basically settled on the 147 ELDM, I’ve got good loads for it with Staball 6.5 and H4350. The 130 OTM and 136 Scenar-L were fantastic, but those bullets cost 50% more than the Hornady.

What 223 bullet?

What cartridge & powders will you be loading?

Did they offer to hook you up with some real AR-COMP????

I never bothered with the kit, I just bought the funnel, the 3" tube and the tips I needed. I didn't want the extra crap I didn't need. I've been happy with mine. -ZA

Ugly user here. I love it

I can’t say that I feel more recoil when shooting 120‘s vs. 147’s. I run a Dead Air Keymo brake and it does a good job across the board. I can 100% feel more recoil when I shoot with a suppressor, but it’s a firm push that has a longer duration instead of a quick kick. I don’t mind it and the...

I had to send the resizing die back in because it was so rough I couldn’t fully resize a piece of brass without bulging the brass. Never seen that before in my other Redding, Hornady or Lee dies. I’m sure i could have gotten...

As for the OP, give Winchester Staball Match a shot. It’s a good powder that matches velocities with the same charge weights and can get higher velocities when desired. Accuracy may or may not be at the same powder charge as Varget. I’ve done a fair amount of testing on the two powders head to head.

Too bad IMR 4166 got discontinued. I have 2-3 lbs of it and wont bother doing load work ups on it…

100% get the turning mandrel, especially if shooting a semi auto rifle.
