[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2028724, member: 2939"] I was trying to find the article on the problems associated with long bullets that actually extend down into the cases with powder around them. Exceeding about 75 grain bullets in a 223/5.56 case causes this. That was the reasoning behind the Valkyrie being able to shoot heavy .224's. The majority of the bullet is outside the throat and still fitting in a 2.26 length. Canhunter35, take a look at Alliant reloading. I use AR-comp for 62 grain and the 2000-mr for anything heavier up to my self imposed 75 grain limit with 223 cases. I have chrono data to back up how well these two powders work. 100's of fps over varget, 4895, tac....... 748, CFE, and Leverrevolution are better for less the 62 grain [/QUOTE]
