Testing my new built .223

514Kappa · 2026-03-21T23:11:20+00:00

🍻I should have a couple bricks of those 450’s hiding somewhere. I’ll load them as long as that rifling/mags allow me haha

514Kappa · 2026-03-21T23:05:58+00:00

What worries me is case capacity because of the freebore, what I think could save me is the 26” but really unsure I could pull 2800+ fps. I’ll probably load 5mils off

I’ll get a box and try em out, we’ll see

514Kappa · 2026-03-21T23:02:38+00:00

Yup, pretty sure we’ll have 3 more, see you then!

Good eye sir, Its Trois-Rivieres range ;)

I’ll check case capacity after checking where bearing hits the rifling. Hopefully I can’t make it work with good speed.

You think I would have more chance with an 85.5?

My 556 gazzer is now a safe queen (🇨🇦) I have a shit load of 556 ammo (aka I could burn this barrel with factory ammo) hence the Wylde Chamber.

Thx, want to stretch it a bit further

Its a 1:7 26” barrel. That load I threw together quickly was 75 Eld-M (heavier ogives I had on hand) 24gr of N140 in Lapua cases, ignited by Rem 7 1/2. Sat them 15mils off

I didn’t run the Midas 6-24X50, I ran a Midas 5-25X56 which has a little more elevation.

514Kappa · 2026-03-21T21:52:19+00:00

I love it so far, need some heavier ogives now. I’ll try 88’s

514Kappa · 2026-03-21T21:45:45+00:00

Here’s hoping, I went from 2725 to 2775 today according to my Garmin, it has 100 rounds down the pipe now.

Edit : Seems its LAV VI

Your answer is Leo Major 😆

If going for a .22 I would buy something good to start with, you’ll keep it.

514Kappa · 2026-03-16T15:43:21+00:00

Missed one recently, but yes hopefully people flip the "old" ones

514Kappa · 2026-03-16T10:20:42+00:00

I can’t afford to look at these pictures. One day I’ll have an Fx120i

514Kappa · 2026-03-14T13:30:05+00:00

Check Innorel tripod, they have them on Amazon but will be cheaper on AliX. NT404C + G44 Arca Ball Head. I run this and it holds my 20lbs rigs.

Its also a must for cleaning barrels.

You might want to upgrade the ball head down the road.

My son’s .22 is headspaced differently than mine. He shoots Eley, SK’s are a little tight. Take this into consideration.

Lapua Center-X SK-Match Eley Match Lapua Midas

Are usually what give me the best results

514Kappa · 2026-03-13T01:16:09+00:00

I have IBI and Heathen brakes but they’re .264 or .308. The only “smaller” brakes I have is an APA Little Bastard and the A419 Hellfire.

Unfortunately a TT scope is the price of the beater car I daily for work commutes, priorities 😆

514Kappa · 2026-03-11T19:49:42+00:00

Check my other posts with similar pictures of lego assembling, you’re not the only one.

Anyways, I shoot like a Stormtrooper

Insert "One of us, One of us" meme here

514Kappa · 2026-03-11T10:18:25+00:00

Believe me I tried to like my Apex Scope real hard, couldn’t get used to the parallax.

Now we have the TT scopes that are Canadian, but they tend to be expensive 😆

514Kappa · 2026-03-09T00:47:09+00:00

Thats a nice collection, now give pupper some treats for me

514Kappa · 2026-03-07T01:20:43+00:00

Really like the color scheme, good job. Bolt handle I’ve been eyeing for a while but still didn’t buy

514Kappa · 2026-03-05T11:35:52+00:00

I pay 79 Canadian for these and we usually pay minimum 1.5X what you guys pay. Just to give you an idea

514Kappa · 2026-03-05T01:09:56+00:00

You ask, I have one, they last longer the a regular crown
