    F T/R Competition 185s HARD on Brass

    Re: 185s HARD on Brass Well I would not totally say that RL and heat don't work together. My current load is working pretty good right now. It is 25.0 grains of RL15 a Berger 90 in a 223 and I have shot that load in 94 degree temps with high humidity! When the the temp is like that and you...

    F T/R Competition 185s HARD on Brass

    Re: 185s HARD on Brass Back a few years ago, I was using the Berger 185BT's. The load was 44.6 grains of RL15, Lapua brass and Wolf primers. Well the speed was good, 2850 fps, elevation was 6 inches at 1K and less at times. All was pretty good if the temps stayed at 80 degress or less.

    F T/R Competition Shooting a .223 at 600 yards

    Re: Shooting a .223 at 600 yards There is no such love. You have to order the barrel and have a smith chamber and install the barrel. A new barrel will prob coast about 320.00 for one that will finnish at 30 inches.

    F T/R Competition 155.5 gr or 175gr SMK's at 600+ yards ?

    Re: 155.5 gr or 175gr SMK's at 600+ yards ? Well if the BC's are close together, it would seem to me the faster bullet would be the inside one.

    F T/R Competition 155.5 gr or 175gr SMK's at 600+ yards ?

    Re: 155.5 gr or 175gr SMK's at 600+ yards ? Not sure what the BC is on the SIE 175 MK, but I would say the the Fullbore bullets @ 600 yards would be neck and neck with them and could possibly out perform them at that ddistance. The G7 is listed as being .237 for the Fullbore 155.5 bullet. If...

    F T/R Competition Shooting a .223 at 600 yards

    Re: Shooting a .223 at 600 yards The only problem with a pre-fit bbl as I see it, is that your at the mercy of the reamer that they are using! Also, my experience has been, that you prob will get more velocity with the Rock Creek bbl, if you order now, you can can get one the list for a .223...

    F T/R Competition Shooting a .223 at 600 yards

    Re: Shooting a .223 at 600 yards Yeah if you run the numbers, the 22BR at least on paper can very well be inside the 6.5X284 @ 1K, without the recoil! Heck I have been shooting the 223 so much that my 308 Palma gun feels like a magnum! I feel as a Any/Any gun, with the reduction of recoil...

    F T/R Competition Shooting a .223 at 600 yards

    Re: Shooting a .223 at 600 yards KS, With the 6mm versions, Varget and RL15 may top choice and 2000MR might work. It is a lil slower burning than RL15, but I have seen that with the heavier bullets in the 22BR, that powders in the burn rate compared powders like H4350 and RL17 are better...

    F T/R Competition Shooting a .223 at 600 yards

    Re: Shooting a .223 at 600 yards I am running a 30 inch bbl and if you did some research, you would find that with the bigger bullets, 30 inches is the optimum lenght for .223. Go longer and the bullet will start to slow down and shorter will show thee same thing, slower V's as well. Just...
