Gold dots should go mint at those ranges given the speeds. I've been really happy with their repeatedly good performance in 223.

I think the consistency I get with the 69's demonstrates that there's no fault with the rifle. Had some new lapua brass to fireform so chucked together another quick load this evening (1c at the...

Thanks for the offer. Let's put a pin in that. I'll do another one or two tests and the best load can go into a primer shootout.

Yep, everything's pretty similar. With those Nosler bullets being quite long, seating them out to 2.350" actually gets them pretty close to the rifling. I am going to try the nylon brush as per...

I'm getting 2930 with 147's in a 25.5" barrel. Super mild load of AR2217 (to hopefully extend the barrel life) and a CCI 250. Plenty of room to push harder. Have tried Re26 and there's a nice load...
