A few weeks ago Waco posted about testing with his 223 AR and his mid velocity loads. Today I copied his experiment on a very small quantity of rounds just to see if my AR would run also. My test was a complete suksess. I was just testing for compete action function. All shells were completely ejected and the bolt was held back on every empty mag.
My load was the RCBS 22 - 055 raw sized to .224 PC and resized to .225 with COWW +1% pewter
OAL was 1/16" under mag. maximum
H335 with 18.6 18.9 19 grains of powder.
I used a NOE .224 neck sizer, and put just enough flair on the case to let the bullet seat without scraping. Then just flatten the flair
Now i have to look for some kind of accuracy i can get and see how fast it is flying.
