Does anyone want to brag about the accuracy of their AR Comp load with 123gr AMAX (or SMK) ?
favorite AR Comp loads?

Yes, nice shooting, nice load, Drifter... Mind if I "borrow" it? :-) AmmoInteractive has a 28.4 gr load for AR Comp, so it appears you are not even at max load. That is great!
No AR Comp at Bruno's today. Bruno's also says that CFE223 will not be available for 2 years due to military purchases. Ouch!

Because some powders are still hard to find, I'm also using AR-Comp in 223 and 260 with good results.Drifter

I am planning on buying a bunch and the SST is a little higher priced but what I plan to use for hunting. I want to have the practing round provide the same results when punching meat. So use only SST or practice with A-max ok??
This was a 3-shot group with the 123gr SST using AR-Comp from 100 yards:

Here's some 200-yard groups from ~2 years ago using 27.9gr of AR-Comp with 123gr Scenars. This is also a testament to the repeatability of Bobro mounts:
Another AR-Comp pic showing last six shots fired that day (3 from 100 yards, and 3 from 600 yards):

Thanks for the load. We are getting ready to ladder your AR Comp load (except Lapua cases and Wolf SR Mag primers).

Originally posted by Nukes View PostI see your note, ".287 bushing." Is that a mention of your die setting for later reproducibility?
Currently, I'm using a Forster sizing die for both brass types. After final tumbling, I run the Hornady brass through a Redding 6PPC Competition Neck Die with a 288 Titanium Nitride bushing (no lube needed), sizing only one-third or so of the neck. The goal is consistent neck tension (an important factor in accuracy), and this method is what seems to work best for me.Drifter
