I have just started loading for 223 rem. that will be used in my AR-15. My question is that I have found load data in several places for H4895 under 63gr. sierra SMP but non of them state minimum COL. I am new to reloading for gas guns and not sure how short is to short. Any responce is greatly appreciated. VC | ||

VC, Try the Accurate Arms reloading manuals they list the "tested COL" or I believe Hornady lists minimum COL's for the different calibers. You may also want to look into a taper crimp for this in your AR. Paul. | |||

V_C, This is from Modern Reloading by Richard Lee. 223 Rem, Sierra 63 gr over H4895 Max COL; 2.260 Min COL; 2.165 I`m not sure how the Min COL is arrived at as it changes some due to bullet, or in other cases powder. I am thinking it is related to how the bullet depth affects chamber size in relation to powder vol but I`m assuming and you know where that gets ya......... | |||
