Need a good 223AI fireforming load

[trophy8]

Will do. I think I am gonna load some 53 grain sierras in the 200 cases and just shoot em up quick to get my brass. I wont use the bullets for anything else.

I plan on starting with varget and CCI BR4s with an 80 grain amax. The rifle is built, just waiting on ceracoat.

8-twist?

[trophy8]

Yes sir. 22" bartlien Remington varmint contour. I built it to run that particular bullet or something similar.

100% carbon fiber Manners EH1 in Elite GAP camo with manners mini chassis. Model 700 action trued. Timney Calvin elite(never used one so giving it a try. If I don't like it then I'll drop a Jewell in). Fluted bolt and badger knob done by LRI. 22" Bartlien 4 groove. Threaded for my harvester. Here is the latest pic. It is built and I am just waiting on it to get ceracoated. All metal will be OD green. It will be topped with a Steiner T5XI 5-25x56 in nightforce ultralights. I'm ready for it to be in my hands!!

I already have 200 rounds of lapua brass. I do not care to spend money on factory ammo. I just need a recipe to load my own.

Did you ever find yours Randy?

Sorry fell asleep at the wheel.

I hate that temp sensitive crap. Its a big deal when it gets to 110+ out here and down to the teens in the winter.

I've not seen the wild swings that you claim.

I've shot mine in 6.5-284 in both 100+ and in the teens and have never had any issues.

And it gives me the the best combination of velocity and accuracy.

RL22 was nuts.

I know several people who have also said it is very sensitive. Youre just old and forgetful haha

OK, 7-twist on 22-inch barrel -- it should like the 80 gr just fine, but may not shoot the 53 grs well. I wouldn't try to push those 53 grainers very fast. Keep us posted on outcomes.

[trophy8]

I'm just gonna fire form with the 53s.

[Artos]

Reloader 15 is my go to powder for the AR with 75's...

[Mike D]

I use RL15, 17, 22, 25 and 33 with no issues at all.
