I am pretty sure its federal, Federal rifle brass has developed a reputation for being soft in recent years. Nosler may spec the brass out to their own satisfaction and it may vary from most federal products.

My 1/7" WOA upper will shoot bullets from 45 to 80 grains with great accuracy , as long as it is not 68 or 69 gr. A load that has done well for a number of people is a 77gr Sierra or Nosler bullet and 23 to 23.5gr of TAC with a Fed 205M, Rem 7.5, or CCI BR-4 primer. Other guns have done well...

I emailed my protest last night and have not heard a response. My money goes elsewhere!

I assume you mean: 1 pull = 2 shots? A new hammer spring fixed mine, it would only do it with heavier recoiling stuff, warm 75s and 77s.

I think the primer drought maybe letting up a little, just in time for the post election buying panic:uhoh:. Most places I have checked (Wideners, Grafs, Powder valley) have had a variety of different primers (SR) in stock, even some Fed 205M.

Following Sierra AR data: 20.2 to 23gr Of Reloder-7 with a Rem 7.5 primer. I use Rx-7 with 55 bullets and 52gr SMKs with excellent results. Sierra's accuracy load for 55gr bullets is 21.5gr (Max book load) and it works extremely well with a wide range of 52 - 55gr bullets. No help with...

I've got a pound of X-Terminator and 1000 52gr SMKs to play with, I hope good things will happen. I've got a short ton of TAC (O.k., 30lbs) and I love it with 68-77gr bullets (10 shots MOA for the 75s and 77s), It does very well with 55 FMJs, it is sub MOA with 52 SMKs (5 shots) and 55 Nosler...

Start a Hornady 75 bthp(OTM) @ 2700fps, it should fragment at 200 yards (Frag velocity stated at ~2200fps, calculated bullet velocity 2262fps at that range(Hornady)). I know I can run that bullet to 2750fps without exceeding published data(chrono, 20" barrel). Now, if you bust a gut, and...

Anybody got a world class air rifle or pistol? It would be interesting to see POI impact shifts of pellets of the same weight, and different designs. Just brain farting..........

Me and my brother tried to get 200 lead SWCs to work in a 4" 45XD. We increased powder charge with no luck. I had a box of 100 230 RNs and didn't try em, I thought they were 200 SWCs. I also tried low ball 185 SWCs with no luck.

How good a condition are your 55s in? Some pulled surplus bullets are badly out of round. This would concern me more than any capacity differences b/w Rem I use and LC. I have found LC, Rem, and Win very similar. With the exception of warm to max loads, they interchange well. YMMV, work up to be...

I've had great results from the 75 and 77gr bullets with 21.5gr (RS starting load) to 23.2gr TAC and Fed 205M primers.

Privi/nny is good stuff, I've reloaded some twice. The PMC I've reloaded in the past has been good (6.5x55, 45, 38), but I haven't tried any 223 yet. I've heard a few rumblings about SB, primer pocket issues mostly, but I've probably got 500 or so SBs I've accumulated so I guess I'll have to try...

What does MidwayUK sell them for? Still cheaper to ship?
