[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1312209, member: 4191"] I'm waiting for AR .223 Rem owners to sound in on the ES/SD matter. I'm hesitant to conclude your 6.5 and 6mm ARs are an apples to apples comparison to the 5.56 AR. I've loaded for quite a few bolt actions, and chronographed many bullet speeds in the cartridges ID'd in my prior post. Never had a problem finding decent ES/SD loads in those bolt action rifles. Your 6mm and 6.5mm cartridges differ in both caliber, and likely capacity. I haven't seen any opinions yet, based on AR .223 Rem experience. I can post about my experiences in bolt rifles with larger cartridges and calibers. But I have no ES/SD deficiency with any of them, so those experiences aren't particularly relevant. Likewise, if you've not extensively chronographed .223 Rem bullets fired from a gas operated AR, your comparisons and conclusions aren't particularly valid. If your personal experiences and opinions are based on recording the velocity of more than 100 AR .223 Rem bullets, then please make that clear, so I have a means of knowing what value to assign your opinions. I've recorded a couple hundred bullet velocities, and I gotta say the obvious. My opinion is based on much more 1st hand experience than either of you have committed to having within this Thread. My experience is real, and consistent with that of many other AR-15 .223 owners/operators. The 338 mags I load for produce lower ES/SD with less effort than my 280s and 7mm mags. And the .223 is a peashooter, compared to the 280s. [/QUOTE]
