    223AI Need Help

    I need some help. 1st off I'm not a very experienced reloader and I was hoping someone could use Quickload or had some insight as to if I'm going to blow my face off? I have a 223AI and I'm using the Nosler 70gr RDF with Varget. I checked Hodgdon reloading page for the 223R, max load of Varget...

    223 A.I. vs 224 Valkyrie

    Hi Everyone, I'm interested in building 224 Valkyrie bolt gun. Watching Frank make hits at a mile and at 2112 yards really got me thinking about this neat little round. I currently use a 223 A.I. with a 27" 1-7 twist barrel. I push the 80gr ELD-M at 3050 fps with 25.5gr of Varget. I've just...

    Need Help Spending Money

    I'm looking to spend $3000 on a factory rifle. I will primarily be using this rifle to hunt deer and hogs at under 500 yards. I occasionally shoot at steel and rocks out to 1200 yards. I'd like the rifle to be about 10lbs without scope and chambered in 6.5 creedmoor. I already have a few custom...

    I just got finished fire forming 300 223AI cases. I have 2lbs of PP2000-MR and was hoping that someone could give me a good starting point or a pet load. I'm using the 80gr ELD-M at 2.625" COAL in a bolt action. Thanks

    Standard for Measuring Groups?

    Is there a standard procedure for measuring your groups? Just throw some calipers on the widest point and call it good?

    233 Ackley Improved @1200 yards

    Finally got my 223AI up and running. Barreled action was put together by L.R.I. I'm using a Surgeon action, Bartlein 27" 1-7 5R barrel, Nightforce 3x15x50 F1, and the evil Mcree Precision G5 with Manners T4A adjustable cheek rest.

    223 AI long range build

    Got access to a 1100 yard range. I'll be building a 223 Ackeley Improved with .169 free bore, same as the PT&G ISSF reamer commonly used for F-T/R. I'm hoping to get 2900fps with the Berger 90gr VLD and 3050fps with 80gr ELD-M and 80.5gr Fullbore. Most of my parts are in the mail and on their...

    A few questions about the 223?

    1. What twist rate for 75-80gr bullets? Berger's twist rate stability calculator thinks I need a minimum of 1:7.2 @ sea level, 32*F, 2850fps for any of their 80gr bullets. Do I really need a 1:7 for the 80s? I've known people run the 90s with 1:7, 80s with 1:8, and 75s with 1:9. 2. What is the...

    22 Nosler

    Hi, Has anyone ran a 22 Nosler in a bolt action with a high BC 80gr Berger or Hornady? I was wishing for 3200-3300 fps out of a 26" barrel with a 1:7.7 twist. Give it a long free bore to take advantage of the powder capacity, but keep the COAL just inside an AI magazine. This sounds like it...
