223

A few weeks back my buddy wanted to do a writeup on velocity vs barrel length on a 223 factory rifle. I just happened to have a stock Rem700Vs in 223 with a 26in barrel. We chopped her down to 16.5 inches and recorded all the readings along the way. Well once my rifle was pretty much destroyed I...

Hello I am a avid pistol shooter and I am looking to get into precision shooting and working my way from 100yrds out to eventually a 1000. I been thinking about 3 specific calibers .22lr .223 .308 but I've been leaning in the directing of 308. I'm good with my mossberg 702 .22 at 75 yards and...

Ashbury sent along a Hot Pink Saber-Forrst Chassis, and today we barreled it up with a Remington 5R in .223. <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=10151838113597953" width="400" height="400" frameborder="0"></iframe> Adam from Mile High opened up the base screws and...

Folks, At some point someone posted a thread for making a 223 mag from a 308 AI AICS magazine. Can anyone find that thread? I've got the pre-change of SH link, but can't find it using a search on the new system. Basically, it appears that no one has 223 mags, but I've got a ton of 308 AICS...

Hey all, I just invested in my first AR15. It's pretty standard, normal handguards and all. So what should I do now in terms of parts? My first instinct was to get a red dot that will get me on the paper at the range, but now I'm looking for the fun stuff. I think I'd like to start with a new...

Take some time and read the site rules about selling before you get banned.

what are your pet loads for a 20" heavy 1:12 twist barrel using a 223 52gr match HPBT bullet.

Howdy, I have been reloading .223 for over two years now, using the same 100 Norma brass. I ordered another hundred a few months ago and another 100 just a week ago. I weigh each case and my old brass weighs around 101 grains, the two new batches weigh around 93 grains. Does anyone know what...

Hi to everyone. newbie here. I would like to know if anybody here have a design for a suppressor to be used in my M4 11.5". I lived in the Philippines & it's perfectly legal to fabricate a suppressor and I would like to ask if what's the diffrence between using a conical baffle and a K baffle in...

Would some of you share some load data from your loading manuals (other than Lee - I have that one) for a 75 gr. jacketed bullet (Horn. 75 gr HPBT) using Reloader-15 powder? The Hornady manual doesn't show and loads for that bullet using Re-15. Just wondering what else may be specified other...

I am considering building a 9mm AR SBR and was looking for some input on the subject. It will have a 10.5" barrel and i have heard pos and cons buth ways. Any help and insight would be great.

Whats needed? I have a Savage 10FP in .223 and I was reading great things about the .260 round. Obviously a new barrel. What about the bolt?

Is there a generally accepted minimum length for a 223 if you are going to let it wear a suppressor? For instance is it a really bad idea to put a can on a 7 inch pistol??? Thanks!

Another newb question that my forum search did not answer... I got some H4895, Winchester small rifle primers, Hornady 55gr FMJ BT, and a metric ass load of LC brass ready to go...finally. So, how should I proceed. So far the best figure I can find was from Hogden saying to start with 25gr on...
