This is my load so use at your own risk. That said it works great in my rifle with no pressure signs.


I'm kissing at 2.153" in my rifle.....I don't consider my rifle to be throated inappropriately. All other bullets I've measured are in a normal range compared to the other 223's I've owned.

I started at .005" off and worked my way back. Accuracy suffered up close.

LBP -- If you don't mind me asking, for which bullet was your rifle throated?

Ingwe -- how far off are you loading them and how did yours measure compared to other bullets?

I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
