Thought that I'd share a great precision load for the 223. My goodness! smile



Link to the article and video: https://ultimatereloader.com/2022/05/22/insane-precision-223-loads-using-forster-equipment/



That Forster equipment is real nice, I understand why owners of the Co Ax press like it so much.

If you reverse engineer the Berger 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain hybrid target load (part # 65 - 31010) it'll be another good one.

You are a fu cking cry baby. If the op wants to impress someone, maybe he should shoot again, but hit the fu cking target this time..

Yup, 5 or 10 shots would have been great. But I quit while I was ahead. "Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em."

I'm a decent shot, NRA long range high master and all that stuff, but... I don't typically shoot .053" groups... Three shots, one hole? I stopped. LOL! smile

Another good one is to shoot a 3 shot one hole group at 25 or 50 yds...

then put your name and date on it...

then write on it 10 shot group! with a magic marker...

then go out and staple it to a target stand at the 300 yd mark, before you get in your car and go home.... smile

Learned that from Big Schtick.... exceptin he does it at 500 to 600 yds... and marks it 22 LR...

A 10 shot group doesn’t make sense in a rifle that only holds 3-6 rounds. Maybe for a gas puker high cap a 10 shot group is ego stroking but for a hunting rifle it’s a little dick measuring contest and a stupid benchmark.

I don’t GAF where your 9th and 10th round goes if my first round goes where I want it to. 😉

Makes no difference what someone else does but expecting others to aspire to some inane bullshit requirement ain’t gonna fly.

Cascade….Nice shooting. 👍. I’d say you found a “sweet spot”.

At the other end of the spectrum, light and fast .223's can impress too. 40 grain Berger/28.5 CFE-223/Lapua brass/CCI SR primer. Browning Low Wall single shot, 26" barrel, 3650fps. It's an older gun with 1-12" twist so I'm relegated to light bullets, but that's ok because I have zero opportunities for long range shooting here, nor the desire.

5 shots:

I wish I knew how to work cameras other than my Nikons. I'm holding a pet target, a .212 at 100, five 50 Zombies over 4895 and 400s in LC. I thought I'd missed the paper on the second shot, the third and then fifth shot made the hole a little bigger. Didn't choke for once.

Been out of town for 3 weeks... and just got home this evening....

a nice FAST and accurate 223 load is a 40 grain V Max, or Ballistic tip..

pushed by 28 grains of RL 7 ( yeah its over Book Max)....in LC or Rem or Win Brass
make that only 26 grains in Federal 223 brass....

some other guys asked me about that a long time ago...

but in a bolt action with a 24 inch barrel.... that 28 grains of RL 7 will send that 40 grain V Max or B/Tip out the muzzle at 4000 fps..

and before anyone questions that... evidently you never tried it...

and it does so reliably, with no real wear or tear on the brass or its primer pocket.

and it gave nice 3 shot one hold groups in my 223s...

Pretty sure Guy (Cascade) is on his Africa trip now, lucky dog!

My son (and his), have used my Hawkeye AW and an earlier Vanguard with Fiocchi 40gr VMax to ‘splode a few chucks. Really lets the air out. That ammo and their other VMax loads are often very affordably priced. I’ve paid as little as $20 for 50, though $30 is a good price now. Hate to sound like a broken record on this, but deals like that make loading your own less compelling with the current primer situation.

That Fiocchi (GFL) brass is a bit heavy, but when I refill it, I just cut the charge a bit. Don’t obsess over recovering it when a semi tosses it either.

I'll stick to the recommended .223 load on the Varget jug. 27.5gr of powder, a 55gr sp bt bullet, I like one with a cannelure. Easy to load and accurate in every .223 rifle I own.

Mostly I use 3 shot groups. That way I can avoid the 5th shot gremlin. I’ll mess up that 5th shot regularly. Makes me crazy.

I never could make short putts for money either.

Kinda like the old saying 3 shots proves the load, 4th shot proves the gun, 5th shot proves the shooter. And yes #5 can be a real irritant. BTDT 😁

If I am shooting for group with my 223s, or any other cartridges, I go for one shot groups....

They are ALWAYS perfect....

Or don't shoot at all, and your groups will always be what you want them to be - like many a Keyboard Commando these days.

high power shooters in NRA or CMP matches shoot 20 plus shots on the 600yd line in 22 minutes. So it’s beneficial to see what an AR or NRA highpower rifle will do on a 10 shot string. I know it’s ph uvking amazing what you learn on the internet.. so might want to rethink what you wrote, because it’s ignorant.

Poor comparison and no his statement is pretty much dead on not ignorant.
IBS 10 shot group record agg at 300 yards, all groups except the first were 12 minutes for sighters and record shots.

HB 300 yds. 10 10 0.3495" D. Boop 06/18/1988 (now that’s pretty small for an agg of 100 shots)

So your time limit boils down to exactly the same , 2 minutes for sighters and 1 minute for each record shot.
Again it doesn’t matter whether it’s a 3,5 or 10 shot group doesn’t mean sh*t if it satisfies the person doing the shooting.
If 3 shots accomplishes what they are trying to do so be it, it’s not for me or anybody else to convince them any different. But for some it seems that it’s now “this is how I do it, 10 shot groups and y’all wish you could shoot as good as me.”

Now what I would like to see is some 10 shot groups like these, then I would listen to your BS.

HB 100 yds. 10 0.104 Mark Buettgen 08/14/2017

HB 200 yds. 10 0.245 E. Watson 07/26/1999

HB 300 yds. 10 0.669 Robert Adamowicz 06/13/1992

Oh, and the groups have to be shot in 12 minutes.

Lol you are comparing IBS shooters to high power shooters wtf. A service rifle shooting those groups uh ok.. So those shooters shot 3 shot groups beforehand and said yep these will work? I shoot a 10 shot string for a reason out of my service rifle I want to see how the 10 shot string does, these are single feed as well. But most times I will shoot a 5 shot group. I get it most of you are afraid to admit it but you all hate AR15’s you just don’t want to get ran off. You see it in acesandeights comments

Well, I finally got around to photographing my target and squishing it down to a reasonable file size.
This load is wet-molied (Mic McPherson) 50 Zombies loaded on a Dillon 650 to the throat in neck-sized Lake City brass over 25.5 gr H-4895 and CCI 400s.
I two-cycle the 650, neck and prime, then dump powder through a Lee, then seat back in the Dillon. I have automatic chargers, but every time "something" happens, "something" happens to the charge. I'm just not that smooth.
The brass has been trimmed and detailed but hasn't been weighed and the headstamps don't match, they're like 95 through 98. However, I have culled "crooked" cases that didn't fireform straight out of that batch of LC.
Rifle is a rusty Savage 10 FP (1996-7 vintage) with a stainless 1-8 Douglas chambered and threaded in about 2004 by Fred Moreo at Sharp Shooter in Ohio, in a pillared black Tupperware stock with a Sharp trigger set to "feather." Scope is a Trashco 8-32 by 50 (yep) original to the rifle.
Conditions were ideal, flat evening light, no wind, low 70s. I'd been having "issues" with my bench manners so I was super deliberate about getting the rifle to play dead. We have benches and stools that are different heights so I took a few minutes (after some frustration) to really build a good nest, get real comfy.
Second shot, I thought I'd missed the paper. Third enlarged the hole, fourth cleaned up the hole, and on the fifth, I didn't choke. Best group I've ever shot although I've had "better" groups going that I've blown open with the final shot. I have terrible buck fever.

Since then, I've had a couple more under .300, but mostly in the high threes and almost all under a half. So it's a good rifle and a darn good load.

See here again you get nothing right. Do I like AR’s, well fugg no, and not afraid to say it, they’re a POS. The military between 1970 and 72 engrained that fact quite well. Do I own an AR well fugg yes. Why, because it’s 3 pounds lighter than my other varmint guns. At 70 carrying 3 pounds less is a good deal. I don’t and never have loaded for an AR and never will, Why? Because I bought 5000 rounds when 55’s were 23 cents shipped and 62 green tip was 29 cents shipped. I couldn’t even load for that counting my time. Also my Garand got sold in 93 to pay for a Bench rifle.

As far as I am concerned an AR is nothing but a lightweight varmint gun. If I were to hunt deer it offers absolutely nothing over my better guns, as I can’t have any more than 5 in the mag and 1 in the chamber. I can’t even have a pistol or rifle mag on me that holds anymore than 5 rounds, I gots to carry a wheel gun for a pistola.

You and him want to shoot service rifle and 10 shot groups that’s cool and it’s your right to do so, but to come on here and puff out your chest, make statements that you consider yourself king of the fugging rifle is pure BS.

But I will play the dick measuring contest,

2 consecutive 5 shot groups @100 yards

And how’s about a 5 shot group @200

What’s it prove? Not a fugging thing.

Then why photograph and keep the target, then, Swifty?

Nice groups.

Because all of my load and test data includes pictures of the targets on my laptop in excel. I keep extensive notes including individual case dimensions before and after, chronograph for each group then correlate later again in excel. All 5 shot groups are fired in 7 min, then a rest period for target change just like in a match. 10 shot has to be done in 12 min. 2 minutes for any sighters then 1 shot per min.

LMAO, proves you wrong again as you were supposed to ostracize me and get me kicked off the site for stating my dislike of AR’s. Shot that POS again today just to remind myself just how little fun I have shooting it and it did nothing to cure my distaste for it. 10 rounds and it was kicked out of the rotation by being thrown in the car.

My most memorable 5 shot group. 220 Swift 52 grain Sierra match, velocity 3950

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

Shot 1-3 looking poor, shot 4 chucked left, bad bad, #5 keyholes ?????????

Pack up to go home as there gotta be a problem? Pack up Oehler, go to retrieve wind flags and target.

Lo and fugging behold 50 yard wind flag

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

I hit the same blade twice, spinning ~1500 rpm on 2 consecutive shots and still hit the target 50 yards down range. That I doubt I could ever redo.

Now, THAT's a group.

The odd thing is, those are at different points on the blade. First hit must have moved it because otherwise I don't see how unless you majorly moved on the bench.

Impressed, tho.

I'll bet the wind direction was changing a bit. That could explain the apparent spread of the impact points.


Don't be the darkness.

Winner!

The wind was varying from 4 o’clock to 7 o’clock, steady at ~22 mph, gusts to 35. My guess is the shot that keyholed is the one that hit the thicker part of the prop spine, the tip is actually pretty thin and flexible.
