Which powder will give me better speed consistency and groups - in your experience? Thanks.

I had ran every case thru my JP case gauge (I know it is a different chamber than pure .223) but it is better than L.E Wilson. Anyway, all had a perfect fit in terms of length (perfectly matching the minimum markers. So, trying to figure out what is wrong, I measured the 40+ cases left...

Perfectly.

Yes, but neck size of full-length?

What should I do with brand new .223 Lapua brass for bolt rifle prior to loading? 1. Full-length re-size 2. Neck re-size 3. Use as is Thanks. Edit: The reason I ask is because I loaded 20. A few bullets were easy to seat, a few were hard to.

I want to neck size my 223 Lapua brass that I use in my Kimber MT for hunting. I already have Redding neck and full-length type S dies. I heard Hornay bushing "bumps" the neck while Radding does not. Not sure which to buy & use. Help please. Thanks.

Kimber 84M Classic in 308 topped with Nikon Monarch 2-7x and a light sling. Fully loaded it weighs 6# 12 oz.

Thanks. I read the same thing. So I called Hornady Tech Support. The person answering the phone warned me against doing that. I told him what their site said. And he pointed me to their loading manual - which I have. The 50 gr GMX has a different page than the other 50 gr bullets. The 5...

Thanks. AA = Accurate Arms owned by WP = Western Powders. And as I mentioned neither Hornady nor WP (AA / Ramshot) list a load http://www.ramshot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/WP_LoadSpec_1-23-14.pdf

Hello All, Does anyone have experience with Hornady GMX 50 gr load with AA 2230 (AKA Ramshot Xterminator) for 223 Remington? I want to use it in my TC Encore PH with 17" barrel (1-12" twist). CCI Primer and Rem/Hornady/Lapua case. Neither Hornady nor WP publish any loads for this bullet...

Thanks. And that is why this ammo does not get shot in my DPMS Prairie Panther. But I do shoot my 50 gr V-Max loads in the JP with great accuracy.

Just woke up and saw the replies. The chamber for CTR02 is "Wylde". I do not know much about it specifics, I know that it is meant to be a 223/556 hybrid. The cases are once-fired from AE 223 55gr ammo which I had to ream out the crimp. I use the case gauge from JP to ensure proper fit to...

How well does yours track? I am having major inconsistencies with it on a very accurate rifle (.223) with a solid mount. Groups do not move consistent with the turning of the elevation or windage.

I went to the range today - finally. Lovely 27 F (hey it is better than -10 F), sunny and hardly a puff of wind. Using my Chrony F-1 for the first time. FCC .223 case, Hd'y 75 gr BTHP, 24.5 gr TAC, Fed Match primer, JP CTR02 with 22" hvy barrel getting 2836 fps avg velocity !!! Extreme...

Just about a tie: Semi-auto: Hammerli 208s - .22lr Revolver: SW 647 - 17 HMR Single shot: TC Encore - .223

I have one of these in 243. I also just cut off an encore .223 rifle barrel down to 17". This way I can use it as a rifle or handgun. In Southern MN we must use shotgun or handguns. On the 243 barrel I use a Bushnell 2-6x scope. But in the early morning and later afternoon, in the woods or...

I am planing on starting to shoot the ISSF 300 meter matchs in 2014 with my JP CTR-02 in .223. With 77 gr SMK or 75 gr Hdy on top of 24.5 gr of TAC, I have shot 1/2 MOA groups from the bench. My problem is that both of these bullets vary wildly in length (about 0.01"). I do not have a good...

These are not scratches. Imagine if the inside of the die, instead of a round would be a polygon. So the streaks are evenly sized and spaced and go all around the case. I will try to take and post pics tonight. This die has only had 25 cases thru it. These streaks started with the second...

Do you think the Forster sizing dies are a bit less polished inside compared to Hornady or Redding? I get these vertical streaks when I size my 300 WSM Norma (or Win) brass. I get nothing of the sort with my Hornady 223, 243, and 308 or my Redding 223 sizing dies.

Just as an FYI, AA lists 45.2 gr max for Hornady SST and 45.3 gr max for Hornady BT-FMJ (both 150 gr pills). I used 44.5 gr with Hornady 150 gr IB. I still have 5 shells left. So, if I shoot straight, I will have four when I get back home. I just want to take another 15 shells along - just...
