Franken AR-15 with cheap AR Stoner 16" 1:9 barrel, PSA BCG and other PSA parts.
20.2 gr of IMR 3031 @ 2300 FPS
RCBS 22-055-SP WW boolits with gas check with
Yields me about 2" to 2.5" MOA with...

Great! What about accuracy at 100 yards?
I have a 16" 1:9 twist barrel shooting the same load getting 2 MOA. Hoping for something similar from shorter barrel SBR I am doing.

Larry,
Would a projectile from a 1:8 twist, 10.5" barrel at about 1900-2000 FPS stabilize?
Projectile is RCBS 22-055 55 grain semi point.

Thank you. That clarifies the gas valve removal. Where or how did you get your plug without the valve?

If it won't function anyway, why remove the gas valve?

I found that I have 1/2 a pound of Winchester 748 left over and it looks slower per the burn rate chart. Any idea on a starting charge?
...

Would using this combo of 30 gr 3031 cause any problems or damage if used as a straight pull?

Do I need to use a Dacron filler?
Thanks.

What about functionality using that load and an adjustable gas plug? https://www.midwayusa.com/product/777146/schuster-dcm-adjustable-gas-plug-with-wrench-m1-garand-steel-parkerized

I would like to try a Lee C309-170-F with Gas Check cast from WW sized to .311 with IMR 3031. I want a medium 100 yard plinking load and need help with a powder charge. Data at Hodgdon shows shows...

I have .223 RGB LEE dies. I get MOA with a low cost cheap built AR-15 and cast boolits. Good enough for me.

It is way too much fun. Rossi 92 suppressed with a Form1 freeze plug suppressor. Way fun.
The 1/2x28 to 5/8x24 adapter extends it past the mag tube so it fits. ...

My Lee factory crimp die works great loading cast .223 rounds! Loaded and shot hundreds of these guys. Fun blasting combo and cheap, like Lee stuff.
LEE FCD works great for 30-30 too. Never had...

Loaded thousands of rounds with Lee stuff. Cheap, works and reloads go bang without a hitch. I like Lee.

I am using WW and gas checks. Running at maybe 2200-2300 ish fps. Way fun and cheap. Still does a job on cans and bottles and rings steel nicely.

Hi all,
I am casting and happily shooting cast RCBS 22-055-SP out of my AR with a 16" barrel and 1:9 twist, running about 2000 FPS. Everything works great, good accuracy for my plinking purpose...

Yes, this has been my sole pistol powder that I first ever started reloading with. I have even reloaded 30-30 with it for a mild plinker load too. It is good stuff that works for many applications.

Unfortunately, I only have Unique to work with. There is still a shortage of all pistol powders in my area and Unique is all I have.
IF I ever see BE for sale, I will buy a pound and try that too.

Thanks. I will bump up my 4.6 load a little in the .357 magnum case and see if it still stays subsonic. I just didn't want to risk detonation with a smallish charge of 5gr in a .357 magnum case. I...

Howdy!

My favorite .38 special load of 4.6 gr Unique under a 158gr RNFP boolit shoots wonderful in my suppressed Rossi 92 levergun. It stays subsonic and the sounds of the boolit hitting the...

Here are the specs:
Rifle: AR-15 with 16" 1:9 twist barrel
Load: 20.2 gr of IMR 3031 @ about 2000-2200 fps
Lead: Wheel Weights

I usually can get 2-3 MOA with this setup and is fine for a...

Loaded up qty 10 with the .222" parting line diameter problem and sized to .225". You could see where the sizer touches the boolit and then where it does not.

Anyhow, fired off the 10 rounds and...

I have been thinking about this mold.

Quick question, how fast can I push a powdercoated boolit? Can I go supersonic up to 2000-2300FPS?? Will a powder coating version work with 1:9 twist at...

I am going to load a few up and shoot them.

Hi,
I borrowed my friends, RCBS 2-Cavity Bullet Mold 22-055-SP 22 Caliber (225 Diameter) to make a whole bunch of boolits out of WW. When I got done processing them and starting putting the checks...

Thanks! Answers my questions. I will ponder it and get it line. When is the cutoff day for putting in for one?

Couple of questions:

1. What is Shipping for the 2 cavity version?
2. Will these work in my AR-15 as well as an RCBS 22-055-SP 55 Grain Semi-Point? I have a friend who supplies some to me...
