Re: AR-10 Handloads to 1,000 yds.
That 190 load is 40.5 of Imr 4064 in a winchester case. Not a smokin hot load at all. Worked in the M14's too. We used M118LR at 800 and 900, then went to the 190's for 1000. They were loaded to mag length, the AMU 185's are loaded long however. The AR10 is...
Re: 5 FTFIRE with reloads for 223, WHY?
Did they get a powder charge? Seen that happen before, no powder charge, primr will not lodge the bullet in the barrel, I have never seen it blow one past the crimp ( no pun intended.. ) and 5 fit in a row on a tray, seems to make sense a row missed a...
Re: AR-10 Handloads to 1,000 yds.
FWIW, the AR10 load used by the AMU for 1000 yds is 45.0 Varget Lapua cases, and a 185 berger LRBT.
Also try 190's with 42.0 RE15 or a appropriate charge of varget. No idea what that would be, but the bearing surface of the 190 is alot more than the 185 or...
Re: Anybody handload for their DPMS SASS ......?
44.3 of RE15 and a 175 work well in an AR10. The AR type gas guns are not like M1A's or Garands, they can take it.( well the M1/M1A recievers are very strong, but the op rods don't like the high port pressures so much. ) Alot of people say you...
Re: Looking for a good 20" CLE 5.56 chamber LR load
Sean,
I was deployed this year and didn't fire with the team,(All Guard)We do shoot the Brown Box Mk262 at 200-300, but we do shoot an Atlant Arms 77 load at 600. Not the AMU load, but just a hair under it. Different contract I guess. We...
Re: Best primer pocket reamer
Use the pointy end of your "lee,rcbs, whatever" Chamfer tool, one quick turn with your hands is all it takes with a 223 case. Very easy and fast. Just a quick twist with both hands with it inserted with handshake firm pressure to each other and its done. The...
Re: Looking for a good 20" CLE 5.56 chamber LR load
The wolf primers are fantastic. The BR4's are good, just a harder cup, like the wolf SRM's. Both hold pressure well. You can load to 5.56 pressure in your barrel, and the thicker cups help. 8208 will meter great in a dillon, RE15 will do...
Re: Looking for a good 20" CLE 5.56 chamber LR load
Reloder 15 is another great powder for the 223's and 75's. My go to loads for the 75's are 24.7 of RE15. for 77's, here are a few loads that will do well in your rifle, like I said, I have the exact same barrel, and the govt owned Team rifle...
Re: Looking for a good 20" CLE 5.56 chamber LR load
24.5-25.0 Varget, 80's seated .020 from the lands ( sierra's)
I had very very god results with 25.3 of N150 and an 80. work up to it from 24.5 or so find your node. Its an old AMU load and a few guys are running it successfully here in...
Re: Universal laws
30'06 cases, when dropped, will ALWAYS dent the mouth, but only after they have been resized. Seriously, this is an everytime event for me so far, 308, 223, 762x54, 8mm, 300 WM Nothing else seems to do it.
Re: Need Target Load for 30-06
46.5 of Varget with the 168 amax ( the Sierra will work too) is a dupe for the hornady 30'06 garand ammo ( as per hornady themselves no less) and it SHOOTS. Even in bolt guns. and if your going to be only shooting to 500, this will work perfectly.
Re: Remington 5R .223
The Milspec 5R's are the 24 in ones and have the hammer forged 5r barrels, all these new ones that have 20 in barrels are not milspec 5r's, really just M700's with 5R barrels. I don't know if that means the shorter ones are hammer forged, or not. I only know the 24 in...

Re: siera 69gr 223 load
I have found that 25.0 of H4895 has been more accurate in a few AR's and a bolt gun with the 69 Sierra. Wolf SRM primers, LC or Lapua cases ( bolt gun)
Re: WTK: BHA .300wm brass - who makes it?
I have read that 300 WM was Norma brass, and that 308 was Winchester.
And after being curious myself again, to verify I searched and found 2 answers, Norma, and/or Winchester make the BHA headstamped 300WM Brass.. so we still don't know for sure...
Re: Recomondations for an AR 15 varmint bullet ?
The Sierra 60 gr Varminter is a sleeper. its a FB bullet but very accurate out to at least 300 yds.( as far as I have ever shot it) Loaded it over 25.0 of H4895 It has always been the most accurate load in my AR's, it just doesent have the...

Absolutely. Worse part is finding one you dropped.
Re: replicating black hills blue box .223 77gr bthp
Real M262 is loaded with a belgian powder, Not TAC, also not St. Marks. ( this info from the AMU reloading shop ) Tac is similar, but not the powder used. Black Hills commercial 77 match is loaded, or rather has been /was once/ could still...
