    What if an AK-47 chambered for the .223 Remington had existed in 1933?

    What if a brilliant and ultra-wealthy American (say someone like Edsel Ford I or Howard Hughes) had designed, tooled and produced in quantity (even if most were warehoused) what we now know as the AK-47 chambered for what we now know as the .223 Remington (including full lethality test data for...

    "Best" powder for .223 Hornady bullets?

    Hello guys & gals. So I'm just getting into reloading. I've got 2 manuals so far - Nosler & Hornady. In my Nosler book, it shows 'most accurate load' within the, like, 12 different powders they've tested. I love that they do this because it gives me a general place to start in regards to which...

    Can you load .223 cases to 5.56 specs?

    Hello guys & gals, From what I understand, the thickness of the cases is what makes the pressure difference between .223 & 5.56. So my question is, excuse my ignorance, say I bought some .223, shot those rounds, then loaded to "5.56 specs"... Would that be a bad idea? Would that be too much...

    Any calibers you *won't* reload?

    There's always the question 'what caliber is the most difficult to justify reloading'? but today I thought of this, what calibers are we just downright never going to touch? I reload a good selection of handgun calibers (mostly revolver cartridges, a few auto ones) and four different rifle...

    Heavy Bullets in .223

    I have read several posts today where people were talking about using 75, 77 or 80 grain bullets in .223 Remington. Why is that? What I'm wanting to know is what makes you, as the person responding to the question, choose the bullet weight that you do - particularly if it is heavier than the...

    .223 Rem Bullet is Best? Soft Point or FMJ

    What is your experience in regards to target accuracy, which bullet performs best? Hornady 55gr Soft Point with Cannulure #2266 Hornady 55gr FMJBT with Cannulure #2267 Or is the difference too small to see at 100 to 200 yards? Lots of good bullet sales this weekend!
