5.56

I'd like an AR-15 rifle. Many reasons, but I like the performance of 5.56 out a 14-16 inch barrel, and 300 BLK out of a 7-11 inch barrel. Would it be viable to build a AR-15 as a pistol in 300 BLK with a 10.5 inch barrel and pistol brace, and also run a 14.5 inch threaded barrel with a removable...

This question is based on a specific situation. In the movie "Annihilation" a small squad of 5 female soldiers/scientists is sent into this weird, dome-like thing to see what's inside. At various times they are attacked first by a large alligator, and then a crazy mutated bear with a face like a...

Will an ak (7.62x39) with hollow points or soft nose perform comparible with fmj 5.56 and it's fragmentation, while providing more mass? Just currious as I had a discussion over the classic where does each caliber excel discussion yesterday. Also if you have any knowledge with SP or jhp 5.56...

so, i am on a budget so tight my wallet suffocated :rolleyes:, but i was just starting to save for a Panther Arms DPMS Oracle .5.56/.223 rem for $500 sold locally to have a semi-auto rifle. I currently have a Savage Axis in .223 Rem thats very accurate & im very happy with it, although its a...

i know they are very different. One is pistol ammo and one rifle. However if you only could buy one, whichever would you buy and why?

Hi all, After a few months of consideration, today I bought my first AR-15 style rifle. It's a used S&W M&P 15 that I found at my local gun shop in great condition for $599 - took it down in the shop and inspected for wear to make sure there wasn't anything drastically wrong with it. I figure...

I’m wondering if I should go .223 Wylde or 5.56x.45 on this next upcoming build. I’ve got about 5k rounds of 5.56, but also around 8-9k of .223. All of my ARs have 5.56 barrels in them so I’m safe to shoot 223. But I’m really interested in this cold hammer forged chrome lined barrel in .223...

If anyone has ever had trouble reloading .223 Rem/5.56 for an AR15 where the resized brass will not pass a case gauge and you are getting some reloaded rounds jammed in your AR like I was. I finally found a solution. I have been reloading for over 40 years before starting to reload for an AR15...

I've been considering getting another bolt action rifle for awhile now, I miss shooting my Turkish Mauser but 8mm Mauser ammo is too expensive to just plink with nowdays. I'm after a .223/5.56 rifle for low cost plinking with the option of hunting small-medium game if I ever get into that. I...

I just uploaded to Youtube a short video of the Lee Load Master loading .223 Remington with H-335, Hornady 55gr FMJBT bullets, and S&B small rifle primers. Part of a 300 round group. The video is just under 4 minutes long. Lee Load Master and .223 Rem Reloading
