    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    You guys have me all hyped up to try these out this year. I bought 400 of them so I’m ready to see what they do on a deer! Will be using my ruger predator 223 and a 223 wylde 20” AR Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Just an update. Finally got the 77s to shoot something decent. Ended up tweaking seating depth with a longer metal mag. My first time really messing with seating depth and was pleasantly surprised to see it improve accuracy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A 20” 223 wylde chamber with a 1/8 twist. AR15. I guess my next step is to increase seating depth out to 2.310 with new metal ASC mags and see if anything improves Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    In my other rifle which is a 223 predator im running tac with a 73 eldm and it’s shooting 0.3 ish moa on a good day. Not sure why these 77s are giving me so much trouble! I may have to settle for a 1.5 moa group lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I am about 70 rounds into this load development with not much to show for it. I did a powder test and found a decent area with Low ES and SD but best groups were 1.5 MOA. I’m now doing a ladder test with seating depth. I bought a metal ASC to gain a bit more COAL up to 2.315. I’m going to now...

    7.62x39 AR15 Deer Hunt Successes - BCA

    I would agree sir. I’m also trying something else this year. I’ve got a 20” BCA 223 wylde that I have loaded up with some 77 TMK going 2830 fps. They should absolutely hammer critters and maybe deer within 100. Probably just doe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Can anyone share load data for 77 tmk and tac in a 556chamber? My manual has it but it doesn’t seem right. Johnnys reloading took it up to 24.8 grains. Is that about right for max? Working up a load now. Yes I did a search in this thread

    A 9mm PCC for home defense ?!?!?

    I could get behind a 458 socom I think. But the ammo cost would probably keep me from doing much practice. Whatever rig I end up with I want to be very proficient at it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A 9mm PCC for home defense ?!?!?

    Like I said above, my experience of hearing an unsurpressed AR in closed doors was awful. Also in the event of having to shoot indoors I would much prefer a sub sonic suppressed round for the sake of my kids while sleeping. I can’t imagine them waking up to the sound of an unsuppressed AR...

    Those are both very sweet rigs man. I like the idea of 300 BO too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A 9mm PCC for home defense ?!?!?

    I use to think the same way but about a year ago I was in the same room as a short barreled AR that was discharged by someone and not only was it deafening but it also made me very distorted. Like to the point of I’m not sure if I could adequately respond to an intruder after the first shot. It...

    What 300 BO rig are you running ? I just hate the ammo shock price of the 300 BO compared to 9mm lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A 9mm PCC for home defense ?!?!?

    Man that’s good to know then. Maybe a 300 BO would more fit the bill then. A short 556 with a can would still be deafening if shot indoors huh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A 9mm PCC for home defense ?!?!?

    If I was able to easily suppress my hkp30sk I may consider that route but the perk of being able to suppress a 9mm PCC has my interest. Love my HK too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A 9mm PCC for home defense ?!?!?

    So I’m really wanting to build something for very close quarter range run and home defense. Something that I can suppress. I was about to go down the 300 BO road. 8” barrel and can etc. but then I got to thinking about a 9mm of some sort. I love the idea of not having to trim 9mm brass for...
