    Micky Duck liked post by Simon On thread : CFE223 & 55 grain .223
    I load 27.1gn of CFE 223 with 55gn Hornady #2266. I get 2850 fps through a Ruger Ranch with 16” Barrel. Shoots very well with groups often covered with a single patch. Sent from my iPhone...

    7.62x39 is a great round. Ammo can be very cheap, generally easy to find, light recoiling and reasonably effective on medium game. My kids prefer shooting my Ruger Ranch which is surprisingly...

    Interesting thread. My boys (7&9) are keen to shoot but my Ruger Ranch 223 with a 16” barrel is too noisy / jumpy for them, making them flinch. Yes a suppressor would help and is on my list to...

    Can’t see the supply getting better anytime soon. If anything I think it will get worse. If it comes up and is reasonably priced, buy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I shoot at the Otorohanga NRA club, 300 to 1000 yards. Good bunch of guys and girls. Bring what you have and have a crack. Equipment helps but practice and familiarity with you firearm helps more...

    Yes, seafire has some interesting write ups on reduced loads for many different rounds. Interestingly, some use the loads for high volume shooting of rock chucks and similar pests, full velocity...

    Time to the impact was unreal. If you were fast enough, I think you could get 2-3 rounds in the air at the same time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
