What twist barrel are you using with the 223 and Berger 85.5? And what altitude are you at? Thanks!

1:8 has been spinning them good for me. Running them at 2550-2650 fps depending on the load. I’m between 4000-5000 ft elevation.

I loaded up another 700 or so rounds of 9mm today. Pretty well stocked up for the beginning of USPSA season at this point.

Which is good. As my attention will turn to my new 6.5 creed later this week once my shell plate arrives for the lee 6000 press.

Not sure how the pro 6000 will handle loading the creed.....

Thanks, I’m at 800-900’ so concerned about an 8 twist being fast enough.

Worth a shot but you might run into some issues. I just got into the 85.5s recently and have really enjoyed them. I shoot a ton of 73 ELDM and 77 TMKs and have just slowly tinkered with new bullets.

Shot some 223 Speer #4705 yesterday and settled on a length. Also shot hornady #2275 and settled on a length. Loaded 50 223 hornady #2275 tonight with W748 & mag primer.

Put together a dummy round for 7mm PRC loaded with a 152 LRX. I’m going to try 50 thou jump and start my ladder from there.

Pretty close to the old gold medal copy cat recipe if memory serves

All my picked up 223 brass is loaded. 100 with Speer 50 grain 100 TNT, W748 & mag primer then 50 with hornady #2275, W748 & mag primer.

Cleaned a pile of brass from the weekend shooting and then prepped 100 pieces of 6 ARC. I easily went through 100 rounds of 6 ARC loaded with 87 gr Vmax with all the prairie dogs and rock chucks that were out and about.

Bulk orders of projectiles for my 357 arrived, so I’ll be working on loading that soon as well.

Two victims of the 6 ARC:

That 87g Vmax is a varmint hammer!

Definitely! Worked great, will burn through the 500 on my shelf in no time haha.

Heck yeah. I shot more of those out of an old custom 243 I had than anything else because they were cheap and devastating on anything with fur.

 

[JDMBEND]

Annealed 225 rounds of brass for the first time.
