I have never had a bullet set-back in firing thousands upon thousands of my hand-loads without a crimp. I've also never had a motor vehicle crash in the thousands upon thousands of miles that I've driven; but I still wear a seat-belt and carry auto-insurance.;)

Thanks Molon.
That's kinda...sorta what I was hoping to hear.
I understand though. Kinda like a "enter at your own risk" sort of thing.
Thank again.

UPDATE: Hornady 53 grain Superformance
http://www.box.net/shared/static/k69inf90mx.jpg
From Hornady’s website.
As previously mentioned, the 53 grain Superformance load uses a brand new bullet from Hornady, the 53 grain V-MAX.

According to Hornady, this bullet has been “optimized for the .223 Remington chamber.” The pic below shows the new 53 grain V-MAX on the left compared to the 52 grain A-MAX on the right.

It seemed only fitting to test this new load from a .223 Remington chambered AR-15. The test vehicle was my 24” Krieger barreled AR-15 with a 1:9” twist and naturally, a .223 Remington chamber.

Shooting was conducted from my bench-rest set-up at a distance of 100 yards. A 10-shot control group using hand-loaded Sierra 55 grain BlitzKings had an extreme spread of 0.63”.

The 10-shot group of the 53 grain Superfromance load had an extreme spread of 0.70”!

Good to see since I have 5 boxes of that on order...:cool:
Yeah got some target pics loaded up in my thread. In the next few days Ill have a Noveske Afghan build done, and be able to get a 3rd barrel on my end. I need a better rest though. Shooting off a "bag" doesn't work too well. The range I shoot at is surrounded by flat land, and its always super windy out there. Today when I was shooting I was getting the wind moving the gun around on the rests....then it would go from cloudy/dark to bright sun and getting mirage. Anyways both the LT Stealth and Centurion Mk12 barrel don't like the 556 load. The 223 shot about average.
