    do you powder drop or trickler for .223???

    Re: do you powder drop or trickler for .223??? i can say varget doesn't drop consistently for me with rcbs uniflow measure so i set it a bit low and use a trickler. i get a .1 or .2 variation from drop to drop. i'm sure it's because it's large granules.

    Re: R700 + Timney + McRee just make sure you read the directions on adjusting the bolt release and don't freak when the retaining pin pops out of the timney on installation (it's supposed to when you drive the pins back through)
