This is out of the new Prairie Dog gun that I just put together....
It did not love my previous 223 load. I had to move the Ogive out .065 from my previous specs. Still the same 53gr Hornady V-Max and AA2230 powder. I think I have a winner. What do you think?...…  You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ aka Big_Daddy Nitro Products FFL Dealer SOT Dealer |

Nice! Those bullets have been good to me as well, but not quite that good!

I cleaned out one of my distributers when they closed them out. I don't measure OAL. I measure to the Ogive in order to get away from any "tip variances". I run a "Fred Sled" single shot adapter in the gun so I don't worry about any magazine fit issues. I am running 1.845" to the Ogive. _________________ aka Big_Daddy Nitro Products FFL Dealer SOT Dealer |

Nah, I'd tweak it a little there Big Daddy.
Hell, that would be a good 25 yard group for me Randy! Nice shooting._________________ I always thought growing old would take a lot longer.....
