Cold bore fliers count? Yours was shot with what power scope?
Mine was open sites!
Well anyway you got me thinking, I decided to pull 5 of those Federals down and do some checking!
Case OAL after resize. Charge wt Bullet wt
1. 1.739" 25.7gr 54.4gr
2. 1.740" 25.8gr 54.7 gr
3. 1.740" 26.3 gr 54.6 gr
4 1.740" 25.9gr 54.5 gr
5 1.740" 26.0 gr 54.9 gr
As we can see cases look good other then being SHORT! The charge wt is wacked especial for .223! Bullet wt so so! Now the challenge I remanned these to the following loads:
Case oal 1.740", 26.0 gr charge, same bullets/primers, loaded to OAL 2.200" Original COAL was 2.195" avg.
Lets see if this improves the accuracy any!
Might prove my point that reloads are better then any Factory rounds.
