That 1-9 twist is a real hindrance.......
They suck.

I have 4 kids, I think 2 223s might be a good idea. I may have a T3 compact in my future.
Not always. I hit mine as she turned to leave. It exited through the joint about 80 yards.Pure broadside, ribs only- most exit. Catch either scapula and it’ll be sitting under the offside skin.

SPS has the 64 bsb's if you're not stretching distances.Much appreciated. That's kind of what I was wondering. I'll keep an eye out for the lighter Gold dots as well.

Am ordering a new barrel for my AR soon. Do you have an opinion on the larue stealth?
I had a 1:8 223ai worked great with 75 berger vld and the 77 matchking. 25.5g varget gave 2900fps from a 20" barrelDo any of you guys use a .223 AI with an 8 twist?

CFE 223 harder to find than Varget? What world do you live in? I want to be there too.I had a 1:8 223ai worked great with 75 berger vld and the 77 matchking. 25.5g varget gave 2900fps from a 20" barrel
Cfe 223 was over 3,000 fps but harder to find than varget

Well at the time I had #40 of Varget and all the ar15 nerds were buying up this new magic powder cfe223 that removed copper fouling and cleaned your barrel for you so it was relatively hard to find.

Gotcha, I've only been reloading for the last year so I've had the opposite experience. I have 10 lbs of CFE 223 but have only seen varget once in person for $43 a pound. And I'm not willing to pay hazmat and shipping unless it's for 8lbers.Well at the time I had #40 of Varget and all the ar15 nerds were buying up this new magic powder cfe223 that removed copper fouling and cleaned your barrel for you so it was relatively hard to find.

I’ve always wondered about an m4/556 for bear defense, but have never seen it (rationally) mentioned.
Ever since Al Gore invented the Internet, the most common thread across every newsgroup on the Internet is “what is the best pistol and caliber for bear defense?”
Given that very few people could hit the broad side of a barn with a handgun (excluding us roksliders of course) in a stresses situation, I would think an m4 with a collapsible stock shooting green tip (AP) ammo would be a much better solution. Given it’s short length and it’s not much heavier than a10 mm Glock, an m4 would be a much better bear defense weapon than any handgun. And almost certainly a green tip 556 would have much better penetration than any handgun caliber
It’s not much heavier than a Glock? I have carried a 10mm in bear country a lot and none of those times would I have been able to haul an M4 around. Granted, if you’re hunting or not hiking too far, etc it seems like it’d be perfect (with 77g TMK)Interesting discussion on the 556 for larger animals.
