If you reload there is always the 25/223. Or the 25 sharps. I prefer the 25/223 as we have slayed a lot of deer, hogs, and a few coyote as well. Loading is as easy as trimming regular 223 brass and...

I am using the 312-155-R Lee bullet out of COWW. W296 is the powder and Lake City brass. The groups are hanging around 1.5-2.5" @100yds with mixed brass. Velocities are between 1800 - 1940fps.

I am running the Lee 155gr bullet with W296 from 15-16.5gr at 1800-1900fps. I like the results from 16-16.5grs

Good to know. Is there any problem loading using the Lee exp die? I am guessing when you use the lee you have a risk of re-sizing the bullet with the neck which could possibly lead to a deformed...

I think a Lee flaring die is fine for rifle loads. I use it. Unless someone can tell you a reason it won't work, I would use that and keep my money in my pocket.

When you get it all sorted out, let me know if you want to do some lead vs lino swapping. I would be interested. If you decide to keep it all, I fully understand.

Anyone know where I can get a Glenfield 75 barrel band? This was a rifle made after the Marlin 989M1 I think. Numrich does not have one listed for a Glenfield.
