Took the AR15 350 Legend and the Savage Axis 223 bolt rifle out for a little bit today.
I started out shooting the Savage today with the Mihec 65gr 227 bullet. I sized to 0.225" and checked with a Gator copper check. Powder coated in Smokes purple one coat. Checks were put on before the powder coat then sized again. Then switched to the Legend with a 200gr hp RCBS checked and powder coated shot in a AR15 with a 16" barrel
I have seen lots of people mention RL7 and I have a bunch of this so why not. I went from 15gr-19gr in a 0.5gr jump. I also loaded an extra one to run through the AR to check to see if it locked back. It did not lock back till 18gr. This is on a 11.5" pistol. Carbine gas. The Savage rifle has a 22" 1-9 twist barrel with a muzzle brake. It is a Boyds laminate Tac/Var stock. This gun normally shoots about 0.75-0.90" groups with jacketed.
223 DATA. 4 shot groups.
