So those familiar with my 'Name that powder!' thread will know that I recently came into a bunch of factory reject AMERC 30 carbine loads. Well those re-issues serves me so well through my little blue I went and bought some reject 223 cases as well.
Here is the pull data from 30 of those rounds: http://tyleryeomans.com/223kimball.html
This powder is unknown, but from VLD and average charge weight it seems to be right around the BL-C(2)/846 surplus range.
So I worked up a reduced load of 25.3gr of the powder, using the Mexican match theory.
Here are the not-too-shabby-for-100$-for-1000-rds-223 results: http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s249/tyeo098/20130721_210958_zps653bd244.jpg
Target was at 25yrds (since the longer range was closed ) and my rifle it sighted in for 100yrds.
Anyways, my problem. Do these primers look flattened, or in any way show signs of excessive pressure?
