My Re-Done 223!

[USMCDOC]

Darn, here I was hoping to see a bipod.

Nice looking rig. Hope it proves to shoot really small. (wonder what an AI chamber would do for that?

Thank you sir.. yeah there isn't a bi-pod on it! But noticed.. that i stayed with the color green!

I have considered that.. but i feel that it might be more than what i would need for now..

I have re-done the tuner, i changed the outer barrel from alum to steel, it changed the weight from 4.2 oz to 7.2 oz.. So i go to the range today with what appeared to be good working loads from my 200 yard testing and found a screamer with the Berger 80.5's.. with 23.7 grains RL15 and 10 off the lands. Also, looking great was the 75 Hornady Amax as well with 23.36 grains of H4895. I hope that the ELD-Ms shoot as well.. Picked up a box of 70 gr RDFs to try out as well with the H4895

Did you ever try out the 80eldm? I just ordered a 223 ISSF reamer and i plan on shooting the 75 and 80 Eldm but not sure if i got I ordered the throat too long or not

No i did not.. and if were to do the project over again.. i would go back to the original formula i used.. Berger 90's, Wylde chamber throated properly for the 90's, RL 15 or 2000MR

I have a Bartlein 7.7tw 26" barrel will be using the 223 ISSF chamber with .169FB. Do you think ill be able to touch the lands with max mag length of 2.550 with the 75 or 80 Eldm?

I’m going out on a limb and saying w/o a doubt with the 80s. The ISSF chamber isn’t that long. I could reach the lands with 80 Amax when I played with them for ever ago. I am pretty sure I could get it into the lands with the 75s too but I never shot many

that's a pretty thick limb Wade!
