Re: What if- 55.6 in .223?
My problem was that when I was shooting the Win 5.56 ammo, I didn't recognize that there was a problem that the Mini wasn't cycling like it normally was and kept shooting until it broke, then had to go to fleabay to get another. Since then, been trying NOT to do it again!

Re: What if- 55.6 in .223?
Sixgun, it was a re-barrel! 17.5" bull barrel with 1/9 twist with a Choat night firing flash suppressor/front sight. Likely the company that did it took the 223 cal on the receiver to heart and chambered it JUST for that cartridge! Too late to do anything about it now, it was some 35 years ago,...

Re: What if- 55.6 in .223?
I'm in Kalifornication, so trades are not likely to happen. Besides, I've got SOME .223 stocked up with more on the way as long as the primers, powder and bullets hold out. With the Mini and an AR in 223 Wylde in the rack I should be good for a while. 8) I was wondering about the feasibility of modi...

Re: What if- 55.6 in .223?
Pig Hunter, makes sense to me. Thanks. With that being said, I think I'll go with plan B, pull bullets, reduce powder, re-seat bullets to proper depth. I hope I NEVER have to go that route!

Re: What if- 55.6 in .223?
Ian makes sense in that regard. HOWEVER, the Mini14 I have was re-barreled a long time ago and chambered in .223, likely to match specs. A couple years ago when ammo was getting kinda hard to find, I picked up some from wally world that was labeled 5.56 (there, got the name correct this time) and pr...

Re: What if- 55.6 in .223?
Just had a thought, probably the best way of going about it is to pull the bullet, dump the powder and reset the RCBS Uniflow powder measure to throw a grain or two less and reseat the bullet to .223 length. IF I have the time to do all that! I'm just thinking on keeping the Mini running for as long...

What if- 55.6 in .223?
For the sake of a what if scenario, say the supply of 223 is vastly reduced and all that is available is 55.6. What is the best safest way of modifying 55.6 for firing in a rifle chambered in .223? Reseating the bullet down enough to chamber and fire in a .223 rifle? And if so, would that increase t...

Re: 30/30 outperforms the 308 and 30/06 at 100 yards.
Wonder what the results would be if all were using the same bullet, ie. 30/30 150gr FN, and all arrived at the game animal at the same velocity for said cartridges. Likely the animal would be just as dead. can't argue with that, but don't you think it would be more dead if shot with a Buckhammer ? ...
