    Thanks. I could have been having an off day, but I recall my 69 grain loads printing a few inches different than the 55 grain ammo I sighted in with at 50 yards. I guess I was thinking 77 grain ammo would be further off yet. I'll have to give it another go tomorrow.

    Turns out my rifle's zero was higher than I remember it. 4" higher at 50 yards, actually. At 50 yards, I'm not seeing a significant difference between 55, 69, and 77 grain loads. I'm going to have to try this Magtech 77 ammo.

    Grant, is this still available in 50 round boxes? I'd like to get a couple boxes but not seeing it offered that way any more.

    Thanks

    Picked up some of this brass at the range two weeks ago. I really like the brass for reloading. Nice primer pockets.

    What's the case volume like? I've heard before that mag tech is a bit smaller than other 223 brass.

    Unlike the other CBC brass, this stuff seems to be on par with normal brass. I did a few pour tests with a powder charge and it's fine. I had some low volume brass to compare too. It's good.

    Just purchased some of this from G and R and wow! Getting 1/2-1/4 " groups all day long at 100 yds with a 16" ss410 bcm barrel. Haven't had a chance to stretch out the distance quite yet but really looking forward tk seeing what it can do

    You'll never be able to go back to crappy ball ammo again.
