I bought 500 of the 175 grain Noslers and tried using the same loads I used with the SMKs and it was no bueno. I’ve trie all my tricks ( load ladders, different powders, different brass) to get these to shoot out of my Noveske N6 to no avail. Any ideas?
I just tried 20 rounds of the brass. Just ran through the sizing die, deburred the case mouth and filled with 41.8 grains of IMR 4164 under a Nosler 175 grain CC bullet.
I got a lot of ejector swipes and 2"-5" groups at 100 yards.
I'm going back with 41.0/41.2/41.4/41.6 to see if I can find...
I went with a Noveske Afghan barrel (14.5”) after seeing a rifle perform with one at Costa Ludus mid range carbine course. That rifle was just hitting steel from 100-700 yards. I was very impressed with that combo. I was having great success with a LaRue predatOBR with 18” barrel and 77 grain...
Need to know who is making the most consistent/accurate barrels for AR15s now. My choices are Krieger/Douglass/Criterian from CLE. Also interested in lothar Walter too.
I'm looking to squeeze as much accuracy out of my 18" and 16" ARs that I can get.
I'm looking for anyone with experience with BR-4 primers in 5.56 pressure ammo. I am loading 77 grain CC and SMK in LC cases over 24.3 grains of TAC or 23.4 grains of 8208XBR. I'm going out Saturday to try this...
tOBR was bought on my dime. Dr. Girlfriend bought the N6. Was offering up the tOBR for sale when the trade option came up. I now have a near precision 308 bolt gun instead of two semi AR10 type rifles. Love the GAP for bench rest and 600 yard shoot at my local range. Like it better when I’m...
I have a Noveske N6 with swichblock that runs fine. Can shoot 3/4” groups with the Magtech Sniper ammo when the nut behind the stock does his part.
bought a LEO used DD5V1 for one of my groomsmen at my wedding. Rifle could shoot 3/4” groups too.
Had a PredatOBR with 16” barrel that I traded...
Does anyone have any sweet spots tha I should start looking at using this powder and bullet combo with the SMKs? Can’t find my go to powders locally and wanted to try this stuff.
+ 2000 on 23.4 grains of 8208xbr under a 77 grain Nosler custom competition in L/C brass. Shot sub MOA at 100 yards and near minute of guy holding the rifle at 600 yards... if you use SMKs, I bet it will do a bit better...
Ok, the RDFs like to jump. Started with a 2.5” group at 2.260” and ended with a1.25” group at 2.245”.... going to make some more rounds at 2.245” with 23.6-23.8-24.0 grains of 8208 xbr, and try a load of 2.240” and 2.235” oacl to see what I end up with.
Found a flat spot at 23.8 grains of 8208 XBR moving the bullet at 2800 FPS. Rifle has a CLE chambered Kreiger 17.9” SPR barrel. L/C brass, #41 primers and 2.260” OACL. Testing seating depth from 2.260”-2.245” oacl to see what it likes!
