Isn't that @Coop68 recommend place too?

 

there are quite a few to pick from around here.

https://revolutionweaponry.com/ haven't herd about this one.


there are so many around here. I bought my own airbrush and do some of my own coating when I have time.

 

Want to do my 870???

 

I've got a hammer i think i can take care of you! You want the warn out look right?

 

Never mind

 

just kidding! if you wanted to buy Dura coat or cerakote we could do it. only thing is I don't have an Oven for Cerakote.

 

Anyone want a bunch of 223 brass? A lot is lake city, federal, and Remington. Some is garbage and I don't feel like sorting through it all. I think most of it is once fired, but it's mostly stuff me and my friends collected after a day of shooting. 30 bucks plus shipping. I also have a 223 worlds finest trimmer that I'll let go for $58.37. It'll make trimming the brass that much easier! I no longer own a 223 and my buddies don't shoot that much any more. Paypal is my go to and ill get it out in a day or two.

 

Looking for advice. I just started reloading. I got some CFE332 powder and looking for a plinking load with 556 cases and Hornady 55fmj bt bullets. Nothing in the hornady manual for that combo or the hogden website.

I made a few with 24 gr of cfe223 with a col2.2 but haven't had a chance to fire yet

I keep seeing conflicting reports on if you can load 556 the same as 223

 

The 5.56 casing is a little stouter but has the same overall dimensions of a .223 so if you can run it through a .223 the 5.56 casing can handle it.

That said, I would go test the first batch (carefully!) and see what if any casing issues you have.

Below is a "similar" load on the Hodgdon site which I would use as a baseline until you have results from a couple loads. Unless somebody else here has some experience with that powder.

Paging @3378jakesr5

 

223 is safe to shoot in a 5.56 barrel but you should not shoot a 556 in a 223 barrel due to the higher sami pressures.

But opposite did you know 7.62 is safe to shoot in a 308 barrel but 308 is to high of pressure in a 7.62

 

Also i "need" to build a sbr in about the 7-8 inch barrel range. Almost want to do it in 458 socom but might lean twards a 300blk. I dont think 223 would be worth that short, or maybe even a pistol caliber like 45acp or 9mm.

Thoughts.

 

Believe it or not I did know that. (Still don't know why it's backward with the .308)

I was assuming since he's loading 5.56 he's working with a mil-spec barrel but it's a fair point to make

In order :
1) 9mm because super controllable and fun to shoot
2) 45ACP See above plus knockdown power
3) 300 BLK because it can handle the shorter barrel
4) I know you have a "thing" for .458 but OVERKILL on a short barrel plus SBR is built for CQC the SOCOM isn't.

Maybe but i want a Tommy gun then

3) 300 BLK because it can handle the shorter barrel

I like this idea but i might as well just convert my current one to this projuct because its a meeehhh caliber without a can and short barrel.

4) I know you have a "thing" for .458 but OVERKILL on a short barrel plus SBR is built for CQC the SOCOM isn't.

Why isnt it a cqb caliber?!?!

This sounds like a perfect CQB caliber i see no reason why the socom cant either




Realistically it will be a 223 or pistol caliber because it might be a prepper gun and it would not be smart to have a 458 looking for ammo

 

That's another great point. You can find all 3 (9mm .45 and .223) at walmart...Which is my caliber barometer

 

But the freedom boner you get when firing the 458 is soooooo worth it

 

Just arguing practicality in a TEOTWAKI situation. If you're going for freedom boner then go mini .458 and see what happens. I'm interested now

 

Or just build it and then put a can and lob 540grain freedom dispencers at 1100 fps.

 

I started with 300blk went 9" i am looking at doing a short 556 upper as well

 

Coop have your stamps come back yet? Hope I am remembering correctly you had some in.
