    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    Sounds nice, a versatile, handy, light tool that's perfect for most occasions. I looked real hard at the Manners EH1 as a replacement for my "Evil" heavy ass Mcree Precision G5. Cost and wait times influenced me to stick with what I have for the time being. What's up with the crooked mini...

    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    That's really moving from a straight 223. I've got to get my hands on some of that XBR and see if my baby likes it. "We" and "Our", you have a team that practices with the 233 on a regular basis?

    What's your favorite firearm for strutting around the farm?

    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    This is my fun and good times gun. I'll predominately be shooting under 750 yards, with an occasional poke out to 1010 and 1200 yards. I have much more capable long range rifle/cartridge combinations that sit in the safe and collect dust for various reasons, cost, weight, recoil, and comfort to...

    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    I've heard interesting things about Leverevolution in the 223AI. What has your experience been like, consistency, velocity? Thanks

    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    My hope is that the new fire formed cases and better powder selection will yield a higher velocity, 3050fps, keeping the bullet supersonic with more foot lbs on target. This hopefully will payoff with impact signatures. IMR8208 XBR seams to be the unanimous favorite powder for the 223AI. How...

    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    LRI set up the chamber to shoot the 90s at a COAL of 2.670", I actually don't have any on hand right now so I'm using the 80gr ELD-M. I'm also using CFE223 power, both of which aren't ideal at 1200 yards. I haven't been able to make it to the range that much but I did fire form 300 cases. Most...

    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    Finally got my 223AI up and running. Barreled action was put together by L.R.I. I'm using a Surgeon action, Bartlein 27" 1-7 5R barrel, Nightforce 3x15x50 F1, and the evil Mcree Precision G5 with Manners T4A adjustable cheek rest.

    223 AI long range build

    Very nice rifles. What is the barrel length on your 223AI?

    223 AI long range build

    Just got my 223AI from LRI yesterday.

    223 AI long range build

    I modified one of my AICS mags to give me a 2.620" COAL. We'll see how it works when I get my barreled action back from LRI. With my Mcree Precision G7, stock pack, bipod, and Nightforce scope I'll be running a 13lb. 223ai. That may be a little heavy for running around in the back yard with. As...

    223 AI long range build

    I sent an email off to Wyatt's Outdoors and asked how the 223 AI feeds with their 223 Rem magazine. Kevin Wyatt very kindly responded below. They should feed fine through the 4 round mag. It's a crap shoot if using the 10 round mag. I honestly haven't tried one in the high cap mag. Kevin...

    223 AI long range build

    No issues yet, cycles without a problem. Hopefully it will stay that way after they transform to Ackeley Improved. The 90s will still be a little cramped. I'm hoping the 80s will get the job done, "1100 yards", and I won't need to play with the 90s.

    223 AI long range build

    Then I modified one of my AICS mags for the longer COAL.

    223 AI long range build

    I decided to go with a 2.620" COAL. This puts the end of the boat tail just out of the case body.

    223 AI long range build

    I needed to make up a dummy round for LRI but was going back and forth over COAL and AICS vs Wyatts mags. I just got the 80ELD-m in the mail and started playing with them. ELD-M vs A-MAX

    223 AI long range build

    That looks really pretty. Did you have to modify it to work with that bullet and freebore combination?

    223 AI long range build

    That is really moving for a straight 223. Are you using an AICS mag? What's your COAL?

    Wyatt's Detachable Magazine Assemblies

    Anybody ever run a 223 Ackeley Improved out of the Wyatts 223Rem magazine? With the 2.850" COAL there would be no need to single load the long 90gr bullets. Thanks
