[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2973163, member: 2939"] As a kid I shot a 26 inch 22-250. I got over my days of barrel burner bragging rights shooting long ago and I got into practicality and common sense. :) I got into match grade ar15's. I don't have any experience with a 223AI. because my research showed that the case only gained about 2 grains of powder. I'm not sure that right in the burn rate chart if there is powder to take advantage of this minor volume change. I generally load with CFE223 and power pro 2000 -mr. Right up at 5.56 pressures around 60,000 psi using rifle and rifle +2 inch gas tube holes on piston guns In 2022 I bought a 224 Valkyrie because the 223 IMO is limited to 75 grain bullets. Because the neck is too short and the magazine length limits you on COL. Also 223 Rem heavies become horribly slow out of even out of 20 and 24 inch barrels. I actually only use 62 and 69 grain because I perfected them over time in my 223 stuff. RMR sells .223 69 hpBT for about 14 cents each these days for 1000. Cheap fun shooting like my Wyoming PD shooting where I go through 300 rounds per day I use cheap bulk bullets 55 or 62gr hpbt out of a 223. But I always bring along my trusty 224 valkyrie 24 inch AR loaded with 75 gr match bullets [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.6mmbr.com/223rem.html[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fieldandstream.com/guns/224-valkyrie-vs-223-remington/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
