    Not sure if anyone posted this yet but I just saw the thread title in my daily roundup. $39000 per unit!! Surely their is more than just the weaponry being sold here?

    .223 - 5.56

    I managed to get out last Thursday to the range to try out some loads. After the chat on here and with a few friends I decided to seat all bar a few rounds to 2.260" just because so many say it seemed to work okay. I left a few rounds as I'd set them from my last batch and then seated the rest...

    Yes, I forgot about your data... Sorry, I'm at work on site this week so not concentrating properly on this. I'll read back through on the computer this evening.

    Excellent, thanks Marshall, I'll see if I can work out the equivalent powder charge for Viht N140 and seat a couple to that length and see how it goes.

    That's what has lead me to thinking I'll just redo everything from scratch. I've emailed a few indoor places to see if I can get to a range for some load development.

    .223 - 5.56

    C.O.A.L is 2.310 I tried a batch of 50 at 2.305 but the spread was a lot larger than I expect from my rifle and myself at 100yds. I then tried a few seating depths at a 50m indoor range and found a node that gave clover leaf groups so tried that at 100yd outdoor range but the group was again...

    Is anyone using the following through a Remington 700LTR? (20", 1:9 twist barrel) Hornady match 75gr HPBT. N140 Lapua cases CCI 400 small rifle primers. I did a basic load with 24gr of powder and seated to 5though off the lands but the group wasn't up to standard (100yds gave a 3" group) I've...

    Muzzle Brake for .223 or go "naked"?

    I run an Ase Ultra suppressor on my .223, it certainly helps the ability to shoot it all day and not have ringing ears at bedtime! Mine is only a 20" barrel shooting 77gr heads with 24gr of Viht N140 behind it. Sub moa all day.
