Black Hills 5.56 77 Gr TMK in Ruger American Gen 2 Predator 223
This article is as good of a resource as I’ve been able to find on 223 vs 5.56. Not just a random person on the internet and they actually collected real data. https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/5-56-vs-223/ -

Black Hills 5.56 77 Gr TMK in Ruger American Gen 2 Predator 223
This was what you asked me: Your first example is from an anonymous person on the internet who added no supporting information and the entire thread is people saying that sticking a bullet in the bore doesn’t make any sense unless he had a squib and fired another round after it. The second... -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
Both will keel. The AAC is cheaper, the ELDM might be more consistent if you were shooting past 400. Seriously doubt you are doing that in Michigan. -

Suppressor Rods and Barrel Alignment WTF?
Lots of people think they are experts. I’m not one, but I’ve shot a few thousand rounds through suppressors on centerfire rifles. 95% of that was with thread adaptors. I don’t own an alignment rod and have never had a problem. -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
In my Tikka it’s about 70 fps slower than Black Hills and 20-shot groups are maybe a 1/4-1/2” larger. It’s also half the cost. The differences in accuracy and speed don’t amount to a hill of beans for field shooting and hunting. It prints center but about 0.1 mil low at 100 compared to my BH... -

Black Hills 5.56 77 Gr TMK in Ruger American Gen 2 Predator 223
I think I asked you that question in reverse first. Tell me one occasion where it has legitimately caused a problem in a 223 bolt action. I give you about 2,500 where it has worked out just fine in my own personal experience. I’ll bet plenty of others will chime in here with higher round counts... -

Suppressor Rods and Barrel Alignment WTF?
Do you know of a suppressor manufacturer that has stuff like this on their website or one who provides this information in their product documentation? I don’t. -

Black Hills 5.56 77 Gr TMK in Ruger American Gen 2 Predator 223
Not remotely the same thing. You are spreading dogma for which there is no supporting information. -

Chopped Magnums
I’m nearly in your boat, but not quite so severe. The issue with breaks is that you can still get hearing damage even with ear pro due to the sound waves traveling through your skull and flesh. That’s been pretty well documented... -

Black Hills 5.56 77 Gr TMK in Ruger American Gen 2 Predator 223
I and my daughter have shot literally thousands of rounds of 5.56 through 223 bolt guns. I don’t know of a single case where that has caused an issue. If you know of a documented case, please provide it. People always bring this up, but no one has ever demonstrated a problem. What modern bolt... -

270 win 25yard range
Most private ranges do daily fee use, and the ones I go to tend to have separate bays for tactical-Timmy stuff or do not allow full auto fire/semiauto mag dumps. I’m sure you can find a range within a reasonable distance that will work for you. You call them up and ask about fees/what’s... -

Chopped Magnums
Short barrels increase blast and noise and breaks increase blast and noise. The combo will make you an unpopular guy at the range. If you ever shoot it without ear pro, you’ll never repeat it. -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
Hey, I don’t mean to interrupt all this ass chapping between @Ucsdryder and @Formidilosus. But the outer wound channel looks like it’s going upward and backward and the bruising in the internal cavity near the spine and the lack of bruising in the crease area supports that. That makes... -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
My intent was not to call anyone a liar. Just to say that it’s difficult to differentiate between opinions without evidence and context. -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
I’m not going to suggest that people are lying, but experience without evidence and documentation is just someone’s interpretation/opinion. -

Factory Rifle that likes 77gr TMK?
I have gotten rid of my Howas and Savages. I was not tempted to buy a Ruger American when they were cheap and am less inclined for 30%more $$. Bolt binding, feeding issues, flimsy forends, trigger issues… Life is too short for spending money on guns that fail you when the chips are down. Buy a...
