Reloading input

Rdjustham, when i was shooting regularly on the post's pow range, i was shooting my M40 with blackhills moly coated160gr bthp n at 100yds, i could cut each hole over and over and over. Until i got stationed at ft riley, i never was able to stretch it any further since 100yds was the furthest at the ft hood range. The range at riley went out to 1000, and at 400 i was covering a 3 shot group with a dime and 600, i was covering with a quarter.

And yes, my ar is stamped 5.56/.223. I guess the 5.56 has a deeper chamber throat than the .223. I do hav a digi crack scale, compliments of uncle sam, just gotta find it.

Thanks for yaws input on this subject. Oh, have any of yaw reloaded the 5.56 in the past yr to current? Is it hust as cheap to just buy the factory loads compared to reloading? A doc my wife works with says its actually cheaper to buy factory loads than it is to reload since the gun/ammo scare is "over".
