    I've just started playing with a mod 7 223. I can attest to the accuracy of the Sierra 55g gamekings (1365). While at range yesterday I had 4 rounds left so went back to 400 yds. ...

    Shot shitloads deer with the cheap old Hornady 55gr SP with or without cannelure. Used it for years. They shot well in several .223s I owned. Never had many body shots but never had a problem...

    You still need to check your brass length no matter what dies are used as the brass flows during firing. Some cartridges are worse than others. Some have virtually no flow eg Ackleys. After you have...

    Out of an AR with limited magazine lenght it would be nice. Out of an ordinary bolt gun I can see no reason why not go 6,5x47 or 6,4 Creedmoor. If you want moderate velocity with 32gr powder, but...

    If a farmer decides not to let you on 'hunting' because of "new health and safety laws", there's a fair chance they don't understand the revised legislation. It is something you as a hunter could...
