Welp loaded up another 50rd of cast 5.56 and I think I got a few things just right ! Out of 30rd on one target @50 ( I was gonna do 100yd but the wind was nuts) I have less then six flyers group my chrono was acting up again so no veocity but check out this group. Sorry didnt bing the calipers but looking like a bit over a 1.5" which is not hole in hole accuracy yes but honestly everyone and there mom does it with a .3030 and says is amazing soooooo lol

No not near as good as my 75gr hpbt's ( same gun is average is averaging like .8" @100yd with them) but ! I've managed to consecutively keep this size group over the last few range trips so that's something! Had good functionality as well. Now I just can't figure how to get rid of the flyers. 18.2 get of accurate 2015 is the best powder load I got so far. Legit a .1 grain more or less and it's just goes to crap. Figured out don't crimp that reduced my groups pretty good. Anneling my brass....eeeggghh can't really tell yet but sorting head stamps definitely helped big time ! And if course weight sorting. Last group was 56.6 grains and this group is 56.5 gr so thinking as long as I keep them within .1 grain +/- I'll be good but still need to test that.Now what I'm thinking next is gonna be either sizing to .226 instead of .225 and or start messing with fillers. But idk. What y'all think ? I had some extras I made and I was killing clay pigeons @100yd with no problem so many I should just move on to another mold and keep this for a plinker ?
