We had a couple popped primers but not like weeks before and Mark loaded a FAT tray of nice 556 ammo that was a C hair too long to fit in AR's but ran nicely in the 5R bolt gun. Mark but he was fkn pissed about the long ammo, LOL. Hey any 556 ammo is good 556 ammo, there is always work to get done!

Off topic but I was shooting Xterminator out of a 10.5” LMT and noticed huge balls of muzzle flash out of an A2 even in the noon day, cloudless sunshine.Quote:

It’s a “ ball of fire “ experience. But if you want fireworks try that H335 for that fireball experience.Quote:

It still amazes me how big of an impact the primer can have on a load.
Revisiting these heavies with a box of Barnes Factory ammo inbound. And also adding the Nosler 85gr RDF bullet to the research.
Lord this topic is popular! :sarcastic:
I loaded some head to head tests, Match Burner vs. RDF with Both TAC (a new lot) and VV135. The RDF is a VERY 'pointy' bullet requiring a dramatic adjustment on the seating die to get it to mag length. I wish I could haul my loading set up out to the range and finish load work up in one day, but we'll see what happens.
Wow are these RDFs impressive. Will definitely work AR Mag length, which I was worried about.
I'm still working up a load with N135 so my velocities are still modest.
But we shot the RDFs against factory, hot Barnes Match burners which were over 2700 out of a Tikka 23.75 inch barrel. RDFs were just over 2600, but were about a Mil flatter at 1000 yards.
Still just getting started with the development/safe pressure, but looks really promising.
Lee made a portable single cartridge kit, not sure if they have 223/556. I've used the one in 308 win and took extra primed brass. Not the best solution but can save a trip or 2.Quote:

I probably have a arbor seating die, but there's no solid surfaces to set up a scale and press at our spot.
