    .223/5.56 compressed loads

    Yes, 77's with 26gr re-15 seated at AR mag length is indeed a hot load. Throws the case about 2 feet farther than factory loads. However, with the 223 brass, I got no pressure signs at all, not even flattened primers. My main concern is will the difference in compression of the two cases be...

    .223/5.56 compressed loads

    So should I unload the 5.56 cases and use only 223 brass for the heavier load?

    .223/5.56 compressed loads

    I just worked up a load for my AR chambered in 5.56 using 223 brass. 26 grs of RE-15 and a 77 gr nosler custom comp. However, the other night I noticed when loading more that when I use 223 brass, I get an ever slightly compressed load, but when using 5.56 brass, the entire case is filled to the...

    300 blackout

    so after some research i have found that with a barnes ttsx bullet that guys are pushing at 2350fps, the drop would be about 8MOA at 300 yards, retaining 650 ft/lbs of energy and still supersonic. oddly enough, and i dont know why this is, my rem. 700 in .308 has the same dope at 300 yards. it...

    300 blackout

    Where I will be hunting I will have the opportunity to get very precise drops to about 150-200. Keep in mind that very few shots would be taken at 150, most would be 40-75 range. I have taken deer with a .223 headshot and yes it works great, but there may be a time where a headshot may be out of...

    300 blackout

    Thanks for the input so far. To answer a few questions, yes I do hand load and no I will probably not run a can, as they are illegal for hunting and that is my main purpose for the gun. I am also aware that the 300blk is not good ballistically past a few hundred yards for much of anything, and I...

    300 blackout

    300 blackout i have the ability to hunt deer year round on a crop damage permit. the farthest shot i could be making would be 250 yards MAX. would there be a bullet powder combination capable of a headshot on a deer @ 200 yards 9 times out of 10? mathematically, a 110 grain bullet going...

    300 blackout

    What kind of ballistics is the cartridge close to? The reason I'm so interested in it is because it uses the same bolt and carrier and magazines as my .223 ar.

    300 blackout

    So it should sufficiently stabilize both a 125 grain bullet for varmints and a 220 grain bullet in a sub load? The reason I'm asking is because my .308 barrel is a 1:10 and I just wasn't sure if the faster twist would be a problem for some bullets. Thanks for your answer

    300 blackout

    I have an ar I am looking at a .300 blackout upper. I know .308 bullets come in weights from 100-220 ish. The upper I'm looking at has a 1:7 twist barrel. What bullet weight range would this be good for?

    F T/R Competition Is 12 Twist Fast Enough?

    Re: Is 12 Twist Fast Enough? you shoot 168's at distance? have you ever tried 175's or 190's at distance, they worked way better for me.

    F T/R Competition Is 12 Twist Fast Enough?

    Re: Is 12 Twist Fast Enough? You should probably go with a 1:10 if you want to shoot long range, as some of the heavy bullets needed for long range will start to destabilize and fly all over the place.

    Re: need some advice from the pros Nightforce all the way. you may have to swallow the $2200 sticker price, but they are far better than any custom nikon or leupold on the market.
