[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4385920, member: 15054"] Years ago when i was working up loads for my .223 I only had a few Winchester cases so i did not try them and I never found Remington cases. All my cases were range pickup cases. I do have Remington and some Winchester now but I have still not tried them. I have loaded them in the AR platforms and tried different year LC cases LC 13 shoots exactly the same as my Federal cases and I can mix those. H4895 is not the powder for getting max velocity but it is super temp stable and fills the case all the way up. I can't run 26.0 gr if I seat the 55 gr V-Max to 2.254" as it crushes the powder too much and accuracy is horrible in the AR rifles. Back it down to 25 or 25.5 gr and accuracy comes in. 16" barrel AR I would get just under 2800fps with the 55gr load and H4895. N133 at 24.7 gr would give me a solid 3000 fps with a 55gr bullet in the same 16" rifle. Here is the 300 yard 3 shot group from the H4895 load circled in black at the bottom of the paper. All 3 were almost the same height only some left and right deviation. [ATTACH type="full"]541595[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
