Topic: Brass prep for long range

[egress81]

Well i finally got around to loading up some ammo for long range. I ended up doing it for .223 since I am waiting for Berger to get their machine up and going for some 7mm VLD's.

I got the Hornady overall length tool and seated some 69 grain SMK's .010,.015,.020,and .025 off the lands.The results were amazing!
The .010 load shot into one ragged hole at 100 yards. I haven't had the chance to stretch it out further to see how well it will do at longer distances.

I am thinking about fine tuning it and seeing if I move it close by.002 or so to see if the groups will improve or not affect it at all.

Sounds good egress, just make sure to watch for pressure signs as you approach the lands.
