Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger American .223 - 75gr A Max query

Dwayne,

Did you try heavier charges of RL15? 25gr shot well in my 223 RAR with the 75 AMAX. Seems less finicky than the other loads I was shooting. Milk-jug stock with epoxy in the fore-end; forward portion of the receiver captured to fix the flop.

Top target was the first 3-shots at 100y with no wind. Bottom target was 5-shots with 8-o'clock wind gusts.

Last pic was 490y. Held 0.5 mil into the wind for the first 5-shots and was lucky to be on steel. Need to run that load at longer distances, hopefully with less wind. Other than the one dropped shot by me at 490y, I'm happy with RL15 thus far.
