    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...

    The crosshair on the Nikon currently mounted to my 223 is quite thick and pretty much obscures those dots. I used the BDC to aim at the dots below, so blowing out the aiming point was not an issue....

    There's also a slow mo guys video where a D20 artillery gun gets significantly deflected by a watermelon (https://youtu.be/xpJ8EoGmLuE).

    I will post up the numbers so we can all see how much of a difference it does or doesn't make. But let's not assume I haven't already done it for my testing so far.

    My "heavy hitting" 223 load is sweet as. TMK's over AR2206H with Lapua brass and Federal primers goes great and I get an ES of about 20 past a labradar and it really lets me stretch the 223 out. I've...

    How far do you shoot? It's good to anchor goats to avoid the death screams. I found my 1:12 really started struggling to do that past 200m because the light bullets are really slowing down. 1:8...

    It's the difference between braining a wallaby vs piercing its ear - or a shoulder shot vs a haircut - at 400m. As to whether anyone can/should be shooting roos at that distance... don't you worry...

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

    I used to do that but have kind of stopped and tend to do a bit more research on the specific bullets I'm considering. Manufacturers know that BC sells, so there's been a bit of a push towards...
