[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1892388, member: 103919"] I use range brass in my 223 AR. I have to load lighter because of the case variations, and I don't expect great SD's and ESs. I'm also not going to be shooting past 500yds with that gun and can hit a 20" target consistently, so I'm satisfied. It is a game gun for tactical rifle matches or 2-gun, not a hunting gun and not where great accuracy is needed. My load at 100 is usually about .8-.9 MOA for 5 shots, but is only pushing a 77SMK at 2540. This is loaded progressively on a Dillon 1050, but weighing charges on a charge master. If I drop the charges progressively also (Varget), I only get MOA accuracy, but I don't expect sub. Now if I would use range brass for my 6.5 Creedmoor AR 10, I would cull it to Hornady (which is the majority left at ranges or PRS matches), and anneal it. Then I would expect it to shoot right with the rest of my Hornady annealed 6.5 Creedmoor brass. That would be 1/2 moa give or take depending on how I'm doing. [/QUOTE]
