Remington model 7 223AI

[backwoods83]

I'm starting a build with a 700 action, using a McMillan A3 and Wyatts dbm so there's no mag length restriction, but very close to this build, so I'm letting this one go.

Remington model 7 action tried.
Wilson 26" 7 twist chambered in 223AI with .105" freebore for 80grn ELDMS at mag length (2.550") at .020" off the lands.
Custom bolt knob, handle threaded 5/16.
Mdt LSS chassis.
Luth-AR MBA4 with adjustable cheek riser and buffer tube.
Triggertech Special @ 1lb
EGW 20moa base.
2 MDT polymer 223 mags.
Barreled action cerakoted in midnight bronze.
Has 135 fireforming loads through it, and an additional 45 for load development and conformation. Shoots extremely well, grouped right at 3/4" for 20 rounds while forming brass and barrel break in, and they were originally loaded for an AR. Shoots .2-.4" with the load I developed, depending on how I'm doing that day.
Looking for $1600.00 without scope. Or for $2100 I'd let it go turnkey with the Sightron Stac 4-20 ffp that's pictured on it, or a 3-15 SWFA.

What velocity were you getting with the 80 grainers? And what powder?

 

[backwoods83]

3173ps was the final load. Went 9/10ths higher with nothing but cratering at 3267fps, accuracy faded. It craters everything because the only thing that has not been done, is having the firing pin bushed. The powder is PP2000MR @ 29.6 with a jump, I use 28.5 with a jam, in my standard 223 with a 30" barrel and it gets me 3158fps. This is all starting with new LC brass. I get 5-6 loads in regular 223, and some of my formed cases have 2 firings and the pockets haven't changed. Annealed with a AMP, FL sized with .002" bump. I use CCI 450s exclusively with that powder, in 223/223AI, 6br, and 308, and get SDs from 2 to 10fps. I haven't noticed the temperature sensitivity I always hear about, but I only shoot from about 25 degrees to low 90s, and the nodes with it are .4-.8grns wide, and every tenth is worth 9-10fps, so it's very easy to predict.
