223 bolt click

[Matt_3479]

I am Wondering if you’d bother with the higher node if a slight bolt click and just starting to flatten primers a little was happening but between two different ladders they provided 3/8 and 5/8 vertical at 300 yards (furthest visibility today).

The lower node was still between 1/3 and 1/2 moa basically (1 7/16” and 1 1/4” vertical). I know the higher node is going kill the brass faster which in this case doesn’t terribly bother me as I have tons and tons of 223 that I’m cycling through. Normally I concern myself with this and would choose the lower node but hard to walk away from .1-.2’s with a shitty rest in low visibility and 0 load work up yet lol.

Low node is 2983 fps avg and upper node is 3130fps with 75gr eld-m’s. Will obviously retest in warmer weather to see if pressure increases more then a slight bolt click.

For me, if there's no primer swipe, I'd go with the higher node.

I would like to see the load data for 3130fps with 75gr eld-m’s
in a 223r especially if it is a 1:8 twist

Primer swipe? You mean ejector swipe? Cause if that’s the case it’s a tl3 with mechanical ejector so I don’t normally get that.

I can let you know this evening.

Yeah, ejector swipe.

25gr of 8208xbr gave me 3100-3115. I worked up too 3166fps
