No i deer

Bigger is not necessarily better apparently ? There's is Alot of 223 owners on here.i am surprised this thread hasn't been inundated with replies.ive nearly got one a few times but everytime opted for the bigger cals.my smaller calibre of choice for next rebarrel would be a 6mm br.i watched a mate shooting his today and its incredibly accurate at 300yds.he fired about 30 shots at the 300yds f open size target and he had about 25 vbulls and five 5's.vbull is 1.5 inches.they don't call him Justin credible for nothing ?.the wind probaly blew most of them back on target ?.It's a nice soft shooter too.it will be equally at home at 600yds too.

At 600yds f class vbull is 0.5 moa which is 3 inches.the 4 ring has gotta be about 10 inches. At 300yds it too is 0.5 moa.1.5 inch vbull.ive never owned a 223 but from what I've read and heard about this cartridge at 600yds is too far and with the heavies in a fast twist barrel it's just about possible.its about knowing your limits I guess.having a 20 inch barrel really makes it hard going so.dont beat yourself up.there is Alot of things to learn...! Plenty of knowledge on ukv

Hi all. Selling 28 inch 1 on 9 benchmark sporting barrel with flattened stainless finish which was replaced with an f class profile barrel.i was keeping it just incase but I've now decided to let it go. It's done around 300 shots mainly with N165 and H1000. It's threaded 5/8ths x 24.it shot very very well.load developed data can be provided. It was fitted to a Borden timberline action. £300 inc transfer. Buyer must have this calibre on there FAC Thanks for looking No I deer

You won't get 3000fps from your 28 inch barrel with the bullet seated so deep.get it throated for the scenars or forget the ideal with N165. I doesn't sound like RS70 will either due to the same reason.

Shooting at bisley yesterday in f open in approximately 80 odd degrees my.bal cal said my 180gr hybrid load was doing over 3100fps.30 inch tube.about 9 moa.i can't remember exactly what I had dialled in.it was roasting hot there.there was a CSR match going on too.

I had hoped that the CCI segmented subs would be good even though they're expensive but they wernt any good in my rifle either.

I expect your local has got 100'000 in stock and needs to move them on.i find it strange that it seem most cz452 and alike owners find the old eleys subs shot best and new ones are poo.

I've tried RWS subs and they were crap in my cz452....!

I will have to try some of these CCI subs.i like the look of them groups.the best I've used since the eley subs went crap in my cz450 is winny 42gr subs.best of a bad bunch

In excess of 2800fps on.56.5grs of N165. If you wanna use RS60 it will do over 2900fps on 52grs out of a 26 inch tube.great accuracy double based powder.i never chronied RS60 load on a warm day.it will be dapping along ?

57grs of N165 pushed the 162gr amaxs about 2950fps from a 26 inch barrel on a warm day going by what my bal cal tells me from entering the correct weather condition when it was zeroed.i chronied them at 2860fps in the cool winter temps.it shoots like a laser out to 600yds and tried a few at 1000yds that were ??.I use 180gr hybrids and 180gr scenar l's for shooting paper.

N165 will do you fine.the 180gr eld m isn't the choice of match shooters as yet.i will try some at some point out of curiosity.

Saves me changing over to the 123s and I will stick with the 139s.thanks for the info.

So when it comes to shooting in the internationals they won' be able to use them so why bother unless the rules get changes to keep up with the times

So many variables.it maybe easier trying to push string.

Air temperatures change velocities.unless you shot at the same temps each time your bound to get variation in fps but you already know this.when I was looking at my ball cal Sunday and from zeroing temps that was entered on the day of zeroing my ball cal was telling me with current temperatures entered there was around or over 100fps slower.i would of liked to put a couple frew the chrony to see if that was actually the case.

I like reloading.gives me something to do in the evenings and on wet weekends.i don't do load development like some do.i load up 5 or 6 different loads to try and the best one I go with. I don't load like 50.0 50.2 50.4 50.6 etc If I find my load is a touch warm that shot really well I download it 0.2grs and try it again another time as i dont have a range near to do it.all my testing gets done across the fields.

Sometimes I do wonder why I reload when somebody beats me using factory ammo.fortunetley that does happen very often.generally I fire too many shots to use factory ammo.my time reloading doesn't cost anything

I entered them speeds in but current temperatures reduced them quite a bit but it should be relative ish

The difference in windrift with between a 139gr scenar doing 2600 and 2750fps is around 6 inches in a 10mph wind

Thank you ?

Ive not really looked into the annealing much and I do fancy Giving it a go now.how do i know what tempilag stuff I need.i would be doing 7mm saum Remmy and Norma brass .284 and 6.5x47 lapua brass
