    Rem. nickel plated .223 brass

    I heard Rem. discontinued making it. I like it because I can find my brass in the hay while woodchuckin. I started using it for highpower comp. because the "Brass Rats" used to scarf up all the brass and I could pick mine out of their stash! Mine are getting old and I need to find some.

    Best out of the box accuracy on a .223

    Hello all, I'm thinking of picking up a bolt action .223 for hunting and target shooting out to 400-600yds and was hoping for a few suggestions. I'm on a budget around $600 and would like find a gun that just plain shoots (MOA or less on factory match ammo) without a whole lot of customization...

    .223 / 5.56mm barrel lengths

    What barrel length is anyone using on their AR uppers to get out to 600yds (using 77gr ammo) accurately and consistently? Would a 16" do the job or does it need to be longer? Thanks for your help.

    Gunsmithing AICS 1.5 plus .223? Worth it?

    I've got a R700 in .223 that I got from a relative. He had a fair amount of work done to it previously, and it sits in a varminter stock. I'm not a big fan of them, but I was thinking of throwing it into an AICS 1.5. Would it be a waste of time? Should I just go for a .308/6.5 Creedmore/...
