Took the new build past 100 for the first time 2 weeks ago. First shot was a cold bore hit at 640 yards. I like this cartridge.
Working on a load for it right now. 18” aero barrel. 28.4 gr of imr 8208 under a 123 eldm is 2520 fps. 31.6 of CFE223 under a 130 eldm is 2450 fps. Trying to figure out which to go with. No primer or brass pressure signs on either, which was surprising given the velocity.

How do you like the Nikon? I looked REALLY hard at that scope, but found a smoking deal on a used SWFA 3-15x (the older SFP version). Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quickly displaced my Kreiger barreled 223, which is still my fav overall AR - but for the night game, shooting coyotes at unknown distances, this thing is really perfect for me. I’ve been really impressed with it. Banged steel at 700 yds about as easy as a sub mom 308 gas gun I was shooting that day as well.
Geissele National Match trigger, hadn’t broken in the barrel when I snapped a few pics of some groups - this may not have been the best group, but one of the only few pics I’ve got.  Attached File Attached File |

Got out and shot some 10 shot groups today to verify my handload is accurate in my 18” Aero Precision barrel.
Load is: 130 eldm, hornady case, 26.8 grains imr 8208xbr, cci SRM, 2.26” coal. 2x10, hovering barely over an inch. I’d say that’s pretty good. 
It does 5 shots at .8” consistently with this load. Also got out to test the federal berger ammo, and that shot sub moa for sure, with one 5 shot group in the box at .45”. Overall thrilled with the rifle now that I know what it likes.
