    Rem 5R .223

    My brother and I did a search and could not come up with the twist for this. I believe it is 1/9, but I am not sure. Please help me out here, and if you have some load data for the heavier projos, I would love to see 'em. Thanks, david

    Small pistol primers in 223 subsonic loads

    Has anyone tried using small pistol primers in 223 subsonic loads. I know they are not as heavey duty as the rifle primers and can't take the high pressure loads. But just wondering if they would work in sub sonic loads.

    RCBS .223 die issues, any input?

    While I was loading some 68gr Hornady BTHPs yesterday I noticed that every bullet had an indentation ring on the ogive about 1/3 of the way from the meplat. Did I do something wrong with setting up the die? I did set up the die like the instructions said with turning it all the way down on an...

    Range Report 223 - IMR4064, Wolf Primer, 60gr Vmax

    Got to the range yesterday to put some more test loads thru the rifle! The first load was 23.5gr of IMR4064 in Lake City brass with Wolf Primers and topped off with a Hornady 60gr Vmax. The second load was ditto except for the powder charge was increased to 24.8gr. Happy with both loads, hard...

    223 AR 68 BTHP H335 data?

    Anyone got any good data for this set up? H335, Hornady 68 grain BTHP. I'll be shooting them out of my 24" sabre upper. My Hornady book is always on the low side, but I know I cant make the loads near as hot as I do for my bolt gun. Thanks in advance.

    WOO HOO..think I found my .223 load (pics)

    Well....the wind was much calmer today so I took a bunch of my latest reloads out and shot Five, 5 shot groups at 100yrds. I am pretty happy with them. Not going to change anything at this time. Here is what I ended up: Black Hills "red box" fired brass FL sized (I have two AR's and like to...

    cheap ass .223 bullets?

    I know "cheap" is relative anymore, but I need to make up a buttload of 55 or 62gr close range training rounds. They don't need to be "precision" capable, just good enough to hit a head at 100 yards. I would rather not spend the cash on SMK's and I can't seem to find anyone with military...

    What powder is in stock and is good for .223?

    So pretty much everything from Hodgegon is impossible go get. H335, H4350, Varget, H4891...all impossible to get. RL-15, impossible to get. So what makes a decent ACCURATE .223 Load thats available? Anything from Ramshot? VihtaVuori?

    I just finished building a heavy barrel XCR in .223. The gun has a Magpul CTR stock, the new enhanced trigger group, 16 inch heavy barrel topped off with an IOR 2-12. In preparation for a training we are hosting I have been running through all the drills with this gun with our practice ammo...

    N150 for 223 AI and 308?

    I was looking to get some RL15 but can't find the stuff and was wondering how the N150 was working as an alternative? The .223AI will be fed 75gr AMAX's exclusively outside of fire forming loans.

    long 223

    I have posted this question on a couple of other forums, but I haven't gotten any answers. I'm looking to load either a 70 grain hornady A-max or the 70 gr barnes TSX. I can seat the A-max deep enough to fit in the magazine but there is a tiny gap between the ogive area of the bullet and the...

    223 AI with CCI 450 primers?

    Anyone use cci 450 primers in the 223 AI or is this primer too hot for the 223? I have quite a few on hand, but am running low on cci 400 and fed 205. Since the 450's are hotter, would I need to load down on the powder charge? Thanks in advance. Just trying to make due with what I've got and...
