    How to determine .223 coal

    The Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gage works pretty good to see where the bullet will meet the lands. If you can't find any information for those bullets then either get another reloading manual, having 2 manuals is always a good idea or you can go to the Hornady website and they should...

    Brass seems to get shorter

    I measure my cases after I full lenght resize them to see if they need any trimming. I used LC M118LR once fired brass, in my experience after I clean them and resize them, they need to be trimm.

    F T/R Competition How many are using prepped lc brass for 308 ftr?

    LC brass is pretty good, if you work it the same way you work any match brass then it does good, it is a little thicker but I have not seen any negative results because of that. I use M118LR cases and I know a few others that use it on F class shoots, they are happy with them. I do full lenght...

    .223 & H380 loads...

    Re: .223 & H380 loads... I use 22.5 grains of H380, cci 400, 55 grain hornady soft point and LC .223 case. For plinking ammo it works fine, i chrono them today at 2100fps, a bit slow compare to the average .223 speed. If you are looking to shoot at 100 yards of less then this will work fine.

    M40A1 Neck Tension

    Re: M40A1 Neck Tension I chrono the M118LR that i shot with my M40A3 then i worked up a load that would match the same MV that my gun shoots with M118LR and my data is pretty much the same with either M118LR or my reloads. I took my time to worked up that load as safely as i could but i do...
