223 Load
« on: March 31, 2016, 04:19:34 PM »
Well my health has not been good the last few months and only made it to the range one other time in the last 3 months. I had bought a new Ar and only test fired it when I first got it. I have loaded up all the 9's and 45's that should last me so figured it was time to give .223 a try.
  Well I had 25 PMC brass from my test firing, picked up some W 748, Hornady 55 grain SP and Ginex primers. Loaded them with 25gr of 748 an OAL of2.200 and no crimp. They all went bang ! I was happy with a 4 inch group @75 yds using the factory peep sights and only my elbows for a rest.
