Yup, Shaen knows how to assemble a rifle for sure... I have been very happy with the 26 Nosler he put together for me....

Flutes are for [bleep] Beave.
Flave will confirm.
Speed with 29 gr H335 and 40's is classified.
Formed loads with 31 gr are TOP SECRET!

Fhuqking LAUGHING.................... I've got plans to whack Prairie Dogs in a few weeks with the light explosive stuff. When and if the wind picks up, I'll switch to the Shaen McWalnut/Bart 1-7" with 75's Hey, everybody has a plan til they get punched in the face right? Might even have a few 88's along for the trip.

Should be screaming. My 223AI smithed by IT&D is pushing the 40's at around 3950 IIRC.... they explode like little bombs when they hit critters....

Kinda miss Dave.
Glad Shaen is around these days!

Is there enough velocity improvement with only a 21" tube to make it worth it? been thinking of opening up a 20.5" tube to .223AI, just not sure if I'll get much velocity improvement with such a short tube. Thought anyone?

How much, in such a short barrel? Are you blowing much powder out the muzzle or getting a pretty complete burn? Toying with the idea of a rechamber on my 20.5" Sako barrel.

I want to shoot 69 grain Sierra's and Lapua Scenars as fast as reasonably possible and maybe some 77 grainers too. The rifle is new and has never been fired. The barrel is 8 twist.

75 ELD's are running 3,090 in my 21" 1-7" Bartlein with 27.6 gr of Leverevolution in formed Rem cases. Fire forming loads are running 2,960 which I'd consider a very warm load for a saami .223. Pharmseller has 75's scooting 3,100 with TAC in a 23" .223 Tikka. Might ask him as I've never messed with TAC but it's been available more than Lever so might have to check it out if worse comes to worse and Pharmseller still has a face.  Lots and lots of threads of all the usual suspects arguing about .223AI though. Might do a search.

Anyone try Leverevolution with 88 gr ELD’s in their 223 AI?
I know Stick has and I sent him a PM but he’s been away from the fire a few days.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

According to my notes I ran things up to 2,800 fps and shut things down due sticky bolt lift.
21" bbl though and I'm sure you'd get more joy from a longer one.
