This was another leftover from the AR experiment. NOE 55 grain fp sized .225. 18.5 grains of IMR 4895. Mixed brass mostly LC. 100 yards bench rested. Lubed with Ben's red with white label liquid overcoat. No leading.

This load will cycle a 16" AR. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210802/77525a38a3469c4c6858ab93306aede8.jpg

That rifle looks good like my ultra light fishing pole! Light, handy, not a lot of string

I was completely wrong once I saw the rifle an the Target next to each other after a 100 yard acquaintance.

I'm curious how long that string is[emoji848]

5 shots. We plinked with it quie a bit at 200 yards before and after. The barrel was pretty warm.

Nice shooting. I love my CZ 457 22 mag. Plan on taking it for a spin tomorrow. Im planning on getting a 527 in 7.62x39 down the road.

Sent from my SM-G930T using TapatalkIt required some hold over. The scope is a Leupold varix 3 in 2x7. To hit at 200 you had to use the point of the bottom cross hair as an aiming post. Doing that it was no problem to hit clay birds or water filled 16 oz soda bottles. Again plinking accuracy. A mil dot reticle would have helped.
