I live in the Weeksville area about 7 miles from the base. I am a contractor at the CG base. We have about 52 acres of woods and I love it. Where did you live when you were here?? That would be great if you could give me some of your other data on the 223 AI. My email address is

Just start with max 223 loads. Noslers manual has some listed. Max loads will give you the start then increase to the amount of percentage your case capcity increased. lube the case very lightly with some imperial sizing wax so the brass flows in the chamber for the fireform. Jam the bullet into the lands.
