Problems with my bushmaster 223 reloads
Is anyone using Reloader 10x in their reloads? I read that it was a good powder for 223 but i'm having trouble with it in my reloads. Only very few rounds create enough pressure to eject the shell fully creating jams every other round. I'm not sure if i should switch powder or make other adjustments. Anyone have any info about this powder?

I haven't tried 10X in a semi auto yet. But, H335 reloads work fine in my Bushmaster.

i use h335 mostly too. RL7 is the only other one I really use One point of interest, in every 223 ar i've had - they all seemed to like 60 gr bullets best. either the sierra or the hornady vmax.

Blue Dot powder with 35 gr bullets will not cycle any of my stock AR15s.

The loads with little powder and too little pressure.
The loads with lots of powder have pressure for too little time.


What does it all mean?
My guess is that you can get the Re10 to cycle with heavier bullets.
