    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    Ok, I’ve never had this issue before. I didn’t know if it was a bad idea to push the bullet out too far. Sounds like it won’t hurt anything as long it’s not causing concentricity problems. There may be a point where grip/hold is an issue as well. I was getting horrible vel SD (20fps +) with...

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    Yea, it’s a pretty short neck already. I don’t want to loose any bullet/neck contact. Idk how much is necessary to adequately hold the bullet but less is definitely less.

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    That’s what I was talking about...I didn’t want to seat the bullet so far out that the boat tail was in the neck of the case. That was around 2.515” for me but the 223 match chamber is so long I’d have to have a COL of about 2.580” to touch the rifling. So my minimum jump is 0.065”. It seems...

    Bunsen27, What’s your max COL with 80gr eld in a wylde chamber? I was sold on the 223 match chamber by northland and my COL to the rifling is around 2.580” but I can only load to about 2.515” before the tail gets into the neck of the case.

    what primers for 8208xbr and 223 heavy bullets?

    Well idk, that’s my question. I’ve loaded a lot of different cartridges for a long time and I’ve never seen the primer deform so much w/o some ejector smear, gas cutting on the bolt face, or sticky bolt lift. I’ve shot hot 55gr loads with wsr primers in this gun with the factory barrel and never...

    what primers for 8208xbr and 223 heavy bullets?

    Is it smart to substitute for a thicker primer to mask potential high pressure tho? What kind of velocity are you guys seeing from 223 with 80gr bullets? I’m getting cratered/flattened primers at 2800fps with 80gr eld in a 24” bolt gun with a 223 match (long throat) chamber with H4895 and varget.

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    Primers with a thicker cup (CCI 450/Rem 7-1/2) will resist cratering and piercing but does the fact that I’m using small rifle primers in a mild pressured cartridge and getting high pressure signs not indicate that my pressure is high? Why do I need to use magnum primers in a non magnum...

    what primers for 8208xbr and 223 heavy bullets?

    I know this is an old post but it has recently become relevant. Forgetting powder choice, what is the reason for using magnum primers in a 223 with heavy bullets? Is it to fully ignite the dense powder charge or for the thicker cup? I’m having some problems with cci 400’s shooting the 80gr...

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    Fixed my standard deviation problem with a little more neck tension but I’m still getting high pressure signs around 2800fps with H4895 and now Varget. Shooting blackhills 77gr OTM at 2825-2850fps with no pressure signs. Any ideas?

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    R700 action with CBI rem/age barrel. On second inspection, I’m getting flattened primers @ 2700fps ans severely flattened primers @ 2800fps. That seems low for a 24” bolt action.

    Anyone work up a load with 80gr ELD-m in 223 yet?

    What is a responsible velocity for the 80gr eld in a 223? I’m working on some loads with H4895 in win brass from a 24” CBI rem/age barrel with 223 match chamber. Seeing slight primer cratering at starting load of 23.0gr (2700fps) and heavy cratering at 23.8gr (2825fps). No other pressure signs...

    AB Mobile Important Update (Release Version 2.0+)

    So there is no way to get all of my rifle/ammo profiles back even tho you made a web sync sign in function to save that stuff? This is getting very irritating.
