If your willing to spend a little more - you cannot go wrong with Vihtavuori N-140
with a charge of 46 to 47 grains. It's been my best load so far, and yes this load is
perfectly safe to...

Yes to above thread. I use their mil-spec bullets in my M1's & AR with
excellent accuracy. These bullets are every bit as good as the top names.
In my...

I case anyone else is interested I found it -

Cartridge SAAMI minimum for the 30-06 is

2.045

can someone refresh me as to the number for 30-06 SAAMI minimum
cartridge headspace - not the chamber but the cartridge - I'd like to
size my brass 2 or 3 thousandths over SAAMI min.

Thanx

:banghead:
I know the SAAMI "GO" dimension for the .223 Remington rifle chamber is 1.4640.

Can someone tell me what the SAAMI minimum cartridge headspace dimension is.
Like with 30-06 I'd like...

Thanks for the posts/replys fellas. I found the problem, I didn't have the actual NM .62 front sight on the rifle. I had one I modified to a thickness
of .40 and it's a full 1/16th shorter than the...

First off the rifle we're talking about is a match rifle I built some 3 years ago.
Front and rear sight are NM, Kreiger barrel and the fixings.

Well now I was testing some different loads and...

Greg V is absolutely correct.

Guts - in a word to your question YES, and your not being stupid. I had one rifle that I could not get to function correctly and it came down to putting in one of Fulton Armory's heavy clip latch...

Was sorting through my '06 brass checking for "the dip" inside that happens before the dreaded case head separation. Subject came up with a fellow shooter at my local pistol match when another fella...

Well now that I can't find any N-140 in my area or on the web, I got a keg of N-135 coming. Anybody used this in their Garand ?

If so - how was the performance ?

I'm using 168 grn bullets...

After talking with some fellow shooters locally and reading on the net I must
ask this question again.

Any difference between military 5.56 brass and commerical .223 ?

Most the shooters in my...

whats bridging in the neck ?

never heard this term before.

Anyone try or use IMR 4064 in the AR ?

Got some sitting around thought about trying a load in the AR with 77 gr
bullet, would like to hear anyone's experiences.

Thanks

Had a fella give me 1000 CCI #400 small rifle primers. Anyone have first hand
experience using these in their AR? Been reading some info on the net - it's 50-50 on them, some folks say thats all...

Well - I ended up with a RRA flat top 24" stainless bull barrel. Kinda nose heavy even after adding lead shot to the butt stock. After shooting a few matches this summer I wish I just got a DCM type...

Colt100 - First off let me confirm I don't pretend to be the "know it all" of Garands like so many on this forum, I have built 6 match grade rifles

First one to get me an email with their name and address will

I've aquired some 9.3 bullets from my old gunsmith's inventory that I know he used for reloading the 9.3x62 Mauser rifle. These bullets have a 'R' inside a shield on the base of the boat tail. Copper...

Any one use any Magtech primers. I'm looking to buy some small rifle ones for loading 223 for my AR.

Anyone had any issues with these ? Are they OK ?

Has anyone tried this PMC Bronze ammo in their AR ?

Wondering how accurate it is - any issues with it ?

Thanks

I'll be reloading for 223 for the first time and I'll be using LC brass. My question - is military brass in 223 thicker walled like 30-06 - do I need to
lower powder charges from my manual because...

Would like some feedback on what the best factory new AR is.
I'm looking at Bushmaster, Armalite, DPMS, Rock River. Type I'm looking to purchase is one with a target barrel and fixings for shooting...
