Hi Greenie.
I have used not loaded CFE223 in RG brass as yet but have loaded it using FNB which is similar.

Hi Greenie.
Make sure you do work your loads up with the RG brass as the capacity of this brass does make a big difference to pressures.
How much you ask.

Today I shot some 55g X-treme's from...

I ran another couple of hundred X-tream 55 grainers through my Windom Weaponry AR15 over the weekend with very good results. They actually shot better than the 55 grain Hornady which is my accuracy...

RG brass has a smaller capacity then FC brass. This cranks the pressure up a bit so it pays to take this into account.
For a 55gn projectile, max charge is 25.3 grains on the Hodgdon site. This is...

Hi Greenie.
I have not had a chance to try H335 (still playing with CFE223) but I would imagine about 24.6 grains of H335 would do the trick. Start about 10% lower and work up.
I would loaded these...

Never had any issued. I have about 5k of brass on the go at the...

I have shot both the 55gn and 62gn spbt Barnaul projectiles.
Both shot very poorly out of all of my AR15's. Others may have had better luck but I tried all sorts of load combinations but the groups...

Hi Greenie.
With the RG brass I have been loading 26gn of CFE 223 with 55gn Hornady #2266 loaded to 56.8mm OAL using CCI small rifle primers.
I have also been loading 24.6gn of H335 with 55gn...

Results.
26.5gn of CFE 223 returned just over 3100fps out of my 18" Remington R15.
Out of my 14.5" no brand AR15 they produced around 2650fps. The down side of short barrels.
Very consistent...

Has anyone tried these?

I have got a small sample (250) so will try them out this weekend. Will let you know how they go.
