I've actually been reading that very item today.

All data was hand written, I called the previous owner and he said the 3.144/3.164 were the best COLs, so I'll make a few up and try them.

I'm loading up some of the above with Hornady SST140 grainers, CCI LR primers, 47 grains of N160 in Lapua brass, but, I have a problem with the COL, the data I have from the previous owner is the COL should be 3.406", if l do that, the boat tail is just in the case mouth and not deep enough to...

What powder do you have ? I may be able to help. Powder may be an issue, H110 and Lil Gun is available where I live but, other powders like 1680 and 4227 etc are rare, so, it's limiting at times. Cheers. Alan.

Evening all, I'm trying to decide which heads to use in my Hornet K, I like the look of the 40 Speer/CCI Varmint SPs, 40 grain Sierra Varminter/Blitzkings, 40 grain Barnes Varmin-A-Tor, 40 grain Nosler 40 grain BTs or Varmageddon HP/Polytip, 34 grain Dogtowns or the Midsouth heads, so...

Thanks for the input, I managed to contact RCBS direct and they're going to send me some over..gratis, there's no complaints from me on that basis. Cheers. Alan.

Over here in the UK, it's a pain to find parts and the smaller bit we use when shooting and reloading, if a part is needed that costs 10c for you guys, you can put your last dollar that we have to buy the whole unit that costs $50, at the moment, I'm trying to find two RCBS Replacement Expander...

Afternoon all (or morning, evening, depending where you are), because of failing health and on the advice of my doctor, he's told me to stop firing the heavy recoil guns (heavy recoil?? I shoot, 7-08, 6.5X55, .243, .223, .22 Hornet and .22 LR), he's not a shooter, but can appreciate my love of...

My friend was on the phone last night, telling me he was out zeroing in his 308, he started at the target at about 20 yards , firing 3 shots , didn't even hit the paper, he moved closer and fired another 3, still nothing on the paper....... ........only then did he realize he had been firing...

Re: Reloading data for Rem .223 with 26" 1:12 barrel Hi Chris, I do have a reloading manual and a .223 specific reloading book, it's just I thought I might save time by asking if anyone had the same rifle as me, I don't have a lot of time as there is only 8 hours of daylight here at the...

Hi all, I'm looking for a proven recipes for my new rifle, as stated, it's a Remington 700 VSSF in .223, 26" 1 in 12 barrel and I'm looking to load 35 and 40 grain V-max (22241), 45 grain Sierra (1210) and 60 grain Sierra Varminter (1375), (I've got about 1,500 heads to use up. Any assistance...

Re: .223 choice. Ta!

Re: .223 choice. My toy arrived today, 4 days late due to a paperwork cockup, it is a close to brand new as it's possible to be, not a mark on it, not had chance to try it yet, tomorrow hopefully, put some test shots through it, then it's off to the gunsmith to be screwcut and the mod fitted...

Re: .223 choice. New toy will arrive on Monday. http://images.gunstar.co.uk/Gun-Images/Remington-223-A114027.jpg

Re: .223 choice. Well, things have changed today, I've found a Remington 700VSSF fitted with a Leupold VX III 6.5-20X40 scope, it's fired 200 rounds and is in very good condition, belonged to an elderly target shooter who had to stop because of old age and frailty, the price is £750 (thats...

Re: .223 choice. I've not seen an SPS as the gun shops over here on keep limited stock to keep costs down, what are the stocks like? solid or a bit floppy, but not as bad as the Howa's? I've found a CZ walnut/blued over here for £595,(about the equivalent of $950 on your side), that price is...

Re: .223 choice. I've been looking at a few guns in shops today and must admit I wasn't impressed by the feel of the Browning A-bolt, it did not feel like a quality item to me, the stock spoiled it, the dealer did tell me that the X-bolt Duratouch stock is a million times better, sadly...

Re: .223 choice. Are Rem 700s not a choice? I've had 3 Remington shotguns that have been nothing but trouble, so, I'm keeping my powder dry on that option and will not try to go for four in a row as regards to buying a rifle.

Re: .223 choice. Expensive!!!! a Tikka T3 Tactical is over £1,000 here, so probably the equivalent of over $1,500 over your side, (boo, hiss). I have a friend with 3 Howa's and he's had to get after market stocks for all of them as he shoots off a bipod, so the POI was allover with the...

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new .223 over the British side of the pond and after a lot of deliberation got the choice down to either the Browning A-Bolt or X-Bolt, here there's the equivalent of a $400 dollar price difference, so I was wondering if anyone could throw their ideas into the hat...
