Only about 59mm, maybe a tad more with the factory "box". I'm thinking of making a mod to mine - cutting the mag box rear block out and replacing it with a shorter one - as there is plenty of room. ...

After several 20" 223s Im really liking the 18" Bergara . Its shooting 55g Fiocchi and Sako at just over 3000 fps

Gunsmiths comment was that the barrel was potentially reusable, so no blockages etc. I don't know anymore except that the wrecked rifle was extremely sobbering viewing, made all the more so by the...

My Bergara looks like it will shoot the 73s pretty good, 3/4 MOA or better, currently I'm experimenting with seating depth after getting to 2760 with 23.6 of AR2206H, not bad from an 18" barrel.

For those reading this thread, these are extremely hot loads, to the point of being dangerous. GRT (albeit not calibrated with old mates brass capacity COAL or exact barrel length ) gives a...

What sort of velocity do you get (from what length of barrel) Ta

Gentlemen - thoughts on a projectile for a 18" 1:9 twist? Thanks

OK you guys - 1:10 twist - wots the optimal projectile in terms of stability, BC and decking deer?

I should have mentioned that I did find the bullet entry point, went in highish where the shoulder meets the neck. It is pretty peculiar because the 150gn projectile did expand normally.

I was farm hunting with a cobber trying to get him his first deer. We happened on 3 deer out in the paddock at 140M. A big framed spiker was facing us so I got him lined up...

Is it just me or are 223's particularly "unreliable" when it comes to predicting velocity against barrel lengths?

I shot my Rem M7 in the weekend, Hornady 55gn ammo with a specified velocity of...

Hello all. My model 7 223 with 1:12 twist is going very nicely with Hornady factory 55 grainers, intended for wallabies and goats.

But it seems I've got lucky and this rifle shoots everything...
