[What's your favorite AR grip?]

Magpul MOE

[Bladetech AR mag pouches]

I have both. My son prefers the injection molded ones and I prefer the Kydex. They both work really well and are good pieces of kit.

[New carbonfiber handguards]

I bought one a couple of weeks ago and put it on an upper with a 18" JP barrel. It shoots and handles really nice. I'm toying around with building an SBR upper with another one.

[Trying to decide between Noveske and JP]

I own one of each and they are both top notch rifles. I would be hard pressed to chosse one over the other. Either way you will not be dissappointed.

Want to second the chamber statement; with a Wylde chamber you will be good with either .223 or 5.56.

Good luck and good shooting!

[spec-ops 9 vs STI 4.15 tactical]

I have an STI 9mm Tactical and the CZ mentioned above and love them both. I use the STI for multigun and the CZ for just general shooting. Own them both and love them both, you will be well served by either.

[Brownells unified shopping cart with Sinclair :)]

Love Brownells! I have been using the unified cart and it does seems a tad slower it seems worth it.

[Fiber optic sight users Green our Red?]

I run clear Oakley Radars with red FO in all three guns. It seems easier for me to see/find quickly.

[C-More sights; why so large?]

Anyone tried the new RTS sight that they have?

[Electronic hearing protection]

MSA Sordin. I have used them for years and wished I had bought them sooner.

[Are You a Traveling Man]

Yes I am!

[Advice on a new scale - take the poll]

Dillon D-Terminator

[How many presses do you have?]

3 Dillon 550s

1 setup for 40/9mm

1 setup for 6.8/.223

1 setup for .308/.260

[Preaching to the Choir....]

Dillon is the HEAT! I have 3 550s and have been loading on one of them since I bought it in 1987. It kept my entire SFODA in competition ammo for 2 years at one point and is still running strong. Customer service is awesome! I don't even consider loading on anything else.

[Hornady A-MAX 75 gr .224 bullets]

They won't work at magazine length. Load them long for single shot and they are deadly accurate, but can't do the bang, bang, bang thing with them. I bought some and found that out. I shot some real nice groups but it was REAL slow, not that was bad but not what I was after. Went to 75 BTHP and got same results but worked in the magazine. YEA!

I think that they would work well for the 600 yard slow fire stage of Service Rifle but that is not what I shoot.

Hope that helps.

[Plastic tipped bullets, but no plastic?]

Load them and shoot them as practice ammo. 100 yards and in you should be fine.

[Frustrations on the 550 with 223 reloading]

I usally run Dillon dies, although I do have Hornady dies for 6.8, but I don't use extruded powders because of the issues with accurate metering of the powder and the flow of the powder. I have been loading on Dillons for years and I love them, I have 3 550s set up and running. I stay away from those powders that don't meter well; it does eliminate some powders but it seems to me that I have had no issues using the ones that work really well. My 55gr load will shoot 3/4 MOA loaded on the 550 and that is about as good as I can hold the gun.

I would echo what others have posted; check your seating die. It seems to me that may be part of your seating issues.

Hope that it works out Dillons are the HEAT!

[Loading precision .223 on a 550b]

I have been reloading .223 on a 550B for years and as I got better at it produced some pretty good stuff. A couple of years ago I was shooting the Superstition 3 gun im Mesa, AZ, I saw some guys and some kit on a table from UniqueTek.

http://www.uniquetek.com/

They have a kit that allows you screw down the tool head to better control overall length and a retro fit micrometer for the powder adjustments on the 550B. Since I started using these on both .223 and the 6.8 SPC I have been able to get loads with a SD of 8.32 fps and 9.48 fps. The guys that I know at the AMU Reloading room at Ft Benning told me that they consider anything with a SD of 21 fps or less to be match quality. I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I would also agree with the comment on fireforming the brass. I can't say for absolute certain that it improves the groups/accuracy but it seems to help a bit in my ARs.

[Primers For 6.8 Spc]

I have been using AA2230, Win 748, Sierra 115MKs and Hornady 110VAMX with good results out of barrels from 12 inches to 18 inches.

I'm starting this week to work up some loads using Ramshot TAC.

[CCI primers]

I have been using them for about four months now and have had no problems in both of my Dillions. I have always used Winchester but have had trouble getting them lately so went with the CCI and haven't had any issues.

Hope that might help a bit.

[How many guns do you have?]

As many as it takes!
