    223 Barrel life?

    My WOA 26" 1/8 twist barrel has 6,845 rounds so far using Tac and loads considered 5.56 level and above the max for 223. I shoot 5 round groups then pause for a couple minutes. Using RMR 69 and 75s. It still shoots sub MOA. I also watch the barrel and gas port for wear.

    Value of once fired 223 norma brass ?

    At the gun show here last weekend clean same headstamp OFB 223 brass was selling for $15/100 for regular brands. Maybe Norma would be worth more.

    LC 556 brass and AMP Aztec codes

    Today I used 5 once fired LC17 and ran them through the sizing die to uniform the necks for testing. All 5 are code 127. Found another 10 different years of LC and after including those the LC only average is 126. The average for all 74 cases dropped to 129. T and Wolf were 142 and 138...

    It's a non crimped brass with "LC 223" on it and no Nato mark. Don't know where it came from but their all short at 1.740".

    LC 556 brass and AMP Aztec codes

    No neck turning...just gathered as many as I could find to see what would happen. If I had some that I knew were the same lot and turned it would be interesting to see the results.

    LC 556 brass and AMP Aztec codes

    In a non scientific test of LC 556 brass I used the AMP Aztec function to see how the codes across several years compared. They obviously produce these by the millions but they look to be fairly consistent for the samples I have. For a total of 54 different headstamps of 223/556 the overall...

    WOA accuracy issues, my experience… (update 9/24/2023)

    This is my WOA 26" Varmint Upper with 6,760 rounds to date. I was expecting more erosion than this at the port.

    5.56 NATO load data 69 - 77 grain

    Using the 556 load data from Western Powders I worked up to the listed max of 25.8 grs. of Tac, a 75gr RMR BTHP and LC brass. Tested in a 16" barrel. A potent load but undoubtedly hard on the rifle.

    SDI 5.56X45 brass.

    Started seeing this brass on the range today. Appears to be made by SDI in India. No Nato mark or crimped primer. These are advertised as reloadable but the primer pocket is oversized and won't hold any primer that I have. Looks like the only thing their good for is scrap metal.

    I have the same problem with AA#7 and 9 leaking during reloading. Some folks are shimming with tape. Others are contacting Dillon.
