    .223 time!

    Just finished 1,500 9mm
    Now it's time for .223. Have a bunch of LC brass fully prepped and primed and a few boxes of 50gr Zmax waiting. [emoji846]

    Nice Cody [emoji106]. I need to get back to the bench. Been working on improving my rifles.

    Thanks! Got stuck on pistol for a while. Just put a new barrel on my AR and need to put some rounds through her.
    I'm happy at my bench, no matter what I'm loading! [emoji16]

    Nice!! I’ve been cranking out some 62gr FMJ’s with 21.6gr Varget. Just some plinking ammo but my gun seems to like it.

    Sweet! I'm going to load up 500 zombie vitamins and move on to 55gr fmjbt for plinking as well. Don't know why but my rifle sends them down range pretty damn accurately.

    I’m thinking of doing some 223 today also. Some Zombies and some plinking ammo.

    I’ve tried so many recipes for 55gr bullets and that’s just one my rifle will not cooperate with. Closest one to get accurate was the flat base soft point. I know they’re pointers but I also like some accuracy too

    I have using imr 4166 with the 55 grain soft points. So far worked really well. I liked the powder so well I worked up a 22-250 load with it also

    Is the imr 4166 temp stable? I've only used H335 for .223, when I did my research before I started reloading H335 with a CCI #41 and 55gr fmjbt was the "equivalent" to a military load. And the H335 has worked well for pills ranging from 50gr to 62+
