So I'm trying something different. I have been watching Eric Cortina's vids on YouTube reference "chasing the lands" and how it's a really inaccurate method of working up a load. So for those that...

I was using a 223 on goats out to 300 yards last week with standard fiocchi 55gn soft points, it was certainly effective and much cheaper to feed than a 243 or 6mm cm My 2 cents

It seems I am a victim of my own time constraints, in my rush to process all 6 in limited spare time, I didn't bother seperating the different cuts, literally there are back steaks, rump, shoulder...

Yup totally agree, Powders: Rl26-forget about it may as well not exist ADI 2225/Retumbo ^^^^^as above^^^^ ADI 2217/H1000- almost as rare but possibly new stock arriving in the next month, if...

Granted pretty much any soft point would do the buisness and whilst this rifle is predominantly 0-300ish yard rifle I'd love to have the confidence to stretch it further should the situation...

Very fair call.....Sometimes a reality check is what's needed....I do love to tinker, sometimes to my detriment. There is nothing wrong with the 2209 groups thats for sure I guess it was just too...

So an interesting quandary has arisen......:o It has been suggested that in the short barrel I may see better velocity with ADI2206h, I have access to about half a bottle but there is no load data...

Yup and I could literally get my hands on 1 box then likely no more until who knows when....that's why I went eith the eldx at least I could buy 3 boxes and re stock should be less of an issue

No but slightly different plans, you will have to wait and see. I'm happy to pay the penalty of the conversion for what I have in mind :pacman:

Legacy conversion appears to be about $100 Lucky 13 about $289 to $300 Thanks Jaco Goosen for the experience. It's for a lightweight 223 pest rifle so leaning towards the legacy.

I remember when I had to buy the same rifle in different calibers so the wife never picked up on how many rifles I owned :D she recently admitted she still has no idea :D

noted but this is purely for var-minting and hopefully not too much walking, I found 5 rounds is often not enough, I also prefer flush mag for carrying. heavily leaning towards the mini now for what...
