I didn’t change the seating die between bullets.

I have some loaded (75s) to 2.275 and will try them soon.

223 AR.


Are you going to single load the 2.275" loads?


If he has stainless asc mags you seat bullets out too 2.300. So no need to single shot them. I will say David has them 75 seated way too deep even for 223 service rifle loads. I'm finding 2.255-2.260 to be a good starting point. I do know if you are loading 77 Sierra otm black hills is seating them too 2.247 in their mk262 mod1 loads.


That's good info. I generally just run everything at .005" under mag length, which puts my oal at around 2.255", like you guys are running them. In an AR, it always seems to produce great accuracy. However, I guess if you can seat them closer to the lands your accuracy would probably improve.
