    223/75g ELDM nailed

    Meh, good enough for Hornady bullets haha. I've done just about all I can with em and this is the best I can do. I'm tired of messing with it already. Taken 150 rounds to get to this point. Ready to start having fun with the rifle now.

    223/75g ELDM nailed

    Loaded up 10 rounds to shoot a 10 shot group at 100 yards. Figured if it went 1 MOA or better I'd run with it. First 5 were a ragged hole, then had a couple stragglers, followed by the rest in the same hole. 8 shots went 1/2" with the other 2 making it .85" Velocity is 2975fps. I blame Hornady...

    Ruger American Rifle .308 22” barrel 1 in 10 in twist.

    If you're getting 1 MOA 8 shot groups from factory ammo and a factory rifle than that's really good. You'll be able to get that from handloads, but it may take a little bit of work is all. Where is the target with 8 shot group at 1"? I must have missed it or didn't see it. Never owned a 308...

    Building my first AR15

    Ok, that all makes sense now. Ya I'm not spending $90 on a mag either. Cavity back bullets is suppose to have some modified mags PRI I think that you can get out further, but they're out of stock most of the time. I think they're around $45-50 also. I can't remember how far you can get out with...

    It's a national match free floated tube already. I bought it from a guy who used it at Camp Perry for a few matches. He guaranteed it to shoot 1/2 MOA as is because he's done it numerous times. He told me he took 2nd place with it. So with that said, I don't believe I'm handicapped at all with...

    223 300 yard ladder N540/75g ELDM

    I'm hoping. Been at it awhile trying to get rid of the 2 and 1 out thing. Ready to start the real fun of 300-1K dope confirmation and then it's just banging steel and killing dogs. Also a 900 yard PRS style shoot in a couple weeks I'd like to attend. But need to get the load and drop chart...

    Well I got the 5 rounders specifically so I can use it for coyote hunting on public/BLM ground just in case...I have a couple 10 and 30 round polymer mags for private ground use. Honestly probably won't use them hi capacity mags much anyway. No mag dumps and unnecessary throat wear here. If I...

    Here are the mags. They look decent to me. Tac welds are good. Function ok, pop in and out just fine. Should be able to get 2.315" out of them from my crude measurements anyway.

    223 300 yard ladder N540/75g ELDM

    Just got back from the range with another seating depth test. Did 3 shot groups at 5 to 40 off in 5 increments. Hoping 25 off is repeatable as it's 1/4 MOA with an ES of 7.

    Building my first AR15

    Well I took the AR out for a function check and sight in. Just took a random load with some leftover BLC2 powder at 27.5g and a 52g smk at 2.25" Fired 35 rounds total and not 1 problem. So that's good, I must've put it together halfway right ha! After I got it on paper at 100 yards and shot a...

    Got the Upper today. Mounted up the Burris. Now I just need to load some ammo and get it sighted in! Then get some load development going with some 53g VMAX, 73g ELMDs, and 75g BTHP Match.

    Will do! Should be here Wednesday or Thursday. Hopefully I don't have to modify them any. I did read that issue about the weld not being right on some of them, but hoping that issue is fixed by now.

    I just ordered a couple ASC 5 rd steel mags that after a little research can get a little longer COAL of 2.315" So we'll see how that helps with the 73g ELDM and 75g BTHP Match. I realize you can mag feed those 2 bullets at 2.250" but that just eats up way to much case capacity and puts you that...

    I wasn't even aware of that tension screw and what it did until you said something about it and I you tubed it. Good to know! Shows how much I know about these ARs hahaha.

    Unloading Bullets Kinetic Puller hack

    Been using that trick for 15 years or so myself. That cheap collet thing they give you just doesn't cut it. Be careful at times, the shell holder will ruin the rim of your cases on 222/223 to the point where the case is no good, or any other cartridge with a lot of neck tension for that...

    Well I figured since I've had an Aero AR15 lower for almost 10 years sitting on my bench, I figured I'd get to building it. I put the LPK in it (minus the trigger) when I bought the lower and just been sitting ever since. I ordered a LaRue MBT trigger and LA Ruth MBA-1 Stock and bought a MagPul...

    Some 223 action

    I actually had a guy named Jerry Stephenson do it for me. He goes by Carlsbad on the forums. Ben never did return my email. But yes, I'm glad it's taken care of now. I would definitely recommend him and his work.
