    what is the "lapua " of .223 brass Lake City?

    Re: what is the "lapua " of .223 brass Lake City? Lapua 223 brass for me has not lasted very long. The pockets loosen up in half the loads compared to LC. WCC didn't last long either. Longest use I ever got out of 223 brass was RP. The necks split before the pocket loosened. You couldn't...

    favorite Powder for 5.56 / 223 using 77 gr SMK

    Re: favorite Powder for 5.56 / 223 using 77 gr SMK 23.5 H4895 23.2 IMR 8208 24.5 Varget 24.0 RE15 24.5 N140 23.5 N135 That should get you started. Those are in order of accuracy for me in several rifles, the H4895 was best in everything. You can take it up to 24.0 as well as the 8208. Little...

    Berger 185 Juggernauts (.308) data

    Re: Berger 185 Juggernauts (.308) data I used it with 77's, the velocity was there, but not as accurate as the H4995. I will find a pound locally and give it a try with the fat boys in 308. Going to be real tough to beat that 45.0 Varget load with 175's though.... But a few hundred 190's...

    Berger 185 Juggernauts (.308) data

    Re: Berger 185 Juggernauts (.308) data I have considered it, I wasn't real impressed with it with 223, but it has potential. Ran out of it before I got to try it with 308. I get 2720 out of the 24 in 5R M700 with 45.0 Varget and 2675 with the 185's in the AR10, (20 in Krieger 1/11) on the...

    this is beginning to piss me off.

    Re: this is beginning to piss me off. N135 will do anything that IMR 4895 will do, and in 308 N150 can replace Varget, same charges with a 175 and 155 give nearly identical performance for me. But it's a finicky powder in the heat. Looks good, bump up looks good, bump up again and you...

    AR15 cheek weld problem. Build it up?

    Re: AR15 cheek weld problem. Build it up? Probably best to get a different mount. I shoot my AR's with my nose to the charging handle dragging my face down and fwd on the way to it. Give a very consistent weld and position. Even with optics, NF, ACOG or just irons. With a carbine stock the...

    uncommon chamberings for AR10 platform

    Re: uncommon chamberings for AR10 platform Not an AR10 ( building a 6xc one right now) but AR15. I have one in 240 tomahawk that will send mag loaded 105's to 2850fps from a 20 in barrel. 90's @3050fps. Works and is a fun rifle.

    223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition

    Re: 223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition Try 25.3 Varget with those 69's. it's listed as an accuracy load and it seems to be just that when I used it years ago

    Is the PRS stock worth it or not.

    Re: Is the PRS stock worth it or not. I had one, it is very well made, sturdy, easy to adjust and stays adjusted. After fiddling and using and trying it ended up being the same as an A2 stock for me, so I sold it and went to an A2 stock. If the A2 or A1 isn't giving you what you want in lop...

    MilitaryMorons review of our muzzle accessories

    Re: MilitaryMorons review of our muzzle accessories Three questions, 1. Any plans for a 15x1mm for say an HK53? B. can 6mm be fired through it? (6x45) 3. Will a KAC NT4 mount to it? ( I saw where it said 7 models from 6 manufacturers but no list as to what they were.) Thanks.

    223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition

    Re: 223/223AI best powder, (almost) 2013 edition I voted other, and I mean H4895. Meters well, cleaner than Varget,smaller kernels, more velocity with the heavies.also has less recoil too. Use it for 50-80 grain bullets. With lc cases and wolf srm primers AR load (20 in) 77's 23.5- 2820...

    IMR 8208 Powder

    Re: IMR 8208 Powder For 77's or 75's 23.2 is the usual, but you will hit another node at 24.0 and that's not too hot so far. 24.3 it gets HOT works for 2850 in a 20 in CLE chamber.

    .223 Black Hills 77gr SMK Clone load?

    Re: .223 Black Hills 77gr SMK Clone load? 23.5 H4895 or 24.0 8208 XBR match issue Mk262 ammo for me in CLE 1-7.7 Krieger. The H4895 load is by far the most accurate.if your running a wylde or NATO chamber, work up to 24.0 of H4895 to get the speed back up to 2800-2850. But the 77's will like...
