My dad was from a small town in AL and he always said during hunting season kids would bring their guns to school so they could go hunting afterwards. They just left them in their lockers.
I don't even care; I honestly don't support everything the NRA stands for.
yeah
what was once commonplace
I'm thinking of getting on the 224 valkyrie train
maybe I'll wait another year or two to see if there are better bullet designs
have not head much about the 223 valkyrie
I usually just stay with the older calibers. Afraid of buying a gun in a new round and not being able to find ammo for it.
It's a chamber with higher pressure and I think a slightly longer neck
it's just 223 remington with a larger piece of brass
ok, thanks
I think federal's ammo uses 90gr SMK's
which do not fit into most mags when loaded correctly
Dies already exist which is good
my target 223 wylde loads are all 69 and 77gr's
I mass prep 62gr SS109 for trash, since it performs well enough
lots of folks bitch about it but I've had absolutely wonderful success with them, getting moa groups without much filtering
It cheap and works well enough for field work.
yes
24.3 gr of H335 does really fucking well with minimal crimping
it's slightly below M855 in velocity by like 30fps on average using a sample of 100 each
I live in CA so I pretty much exclusively do it in anticipation for the 2019 ammunition purchase permits
also I do ELR stuff
and you really want fire formed brass for such things
You, with no ammo limits in my area and the fact that I stick to common and popular rounds there is no real savings for me to reload ammo.
yeah
I shoot some weird/expensive shit too that costs shitloads to buy
458 socom and 338 lapua are really expensive things to feed
The most exotic I get these days is 303 british
The prices for 338 lapua is ridicules
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeup
I decided the advantages outweighed going to the more common 300 winmag
If your using it for long range accuracy then yes.
It's just a little leap forward for where the transonic period occurs while putting a bit more on target in terms of weight
The added weight and some of the newer bullet designs really convinced me the most
interesting
They get super high BC's
.85's and above
berger OTM hybrids especially; but there are a bunch of monolithic solids for target shooting that are very nice
You'd never want to shoot an animal with one since it'd just go straight through, but for targets, why not?
