It’s a Hornady factory. The black box & a friend of a friend reloaded about 60ty of them for me. Not sure if the details.
A. R platform made by mutiny firearms out of fla.OK so the are hand loads? I think those are more for a Valkyrie and the twist rates they have. The 90-95 gr Sierra Match Kings need a 1:6.5 or faster twist to perform well. I can't find any info on the Hornady A-Tip twist rate requirements.
what are you shooting them in?
I have learned so much from y’all in here. Never knew a simple 223 was so complex. ?
I keep forgetting to find out also. Til I do I’ve been shooting plain ol 223 ?I remember there was a discussion a whle back about the difference between .223 and 5.56, I don't remember if you mentioned which one your barrel was ? or if you knew what twist rate it was ? if its 1 in 8 inches, or 1 in 9 then the 55gr loads should be plenty accurate, if its 1 in 7 inches ? maybe, might not be pin point accurate at longer distances, but should be good enough for pigs at 100 yds or less,
easy way to remember,
faster/shorter twist, heavier bullets
slower/longer twist, lighter bullets
Not sure of the rate of twist.
Will do. A lot of hogs we shoot to eat are around 100 pds. Coyotes think will be ok. Big hog if presented will try head shots.That 50gr Fiocchi is a varmint load with a lightweight very rapidly expanding fragmenting bullet meant for exploding prairie dogs, groundhogs and such and not so much for penetration or larger game. Since hogs are somewhat larger and have that shoulder plate, you may want to put it behind the ear on a hog. I've always used 64gr nosler bonded core bullets not wanting to risk shallow penetration.

Yes everything says USA.Don't these guys just build AR's from USA sourced parts?
I stand corrected ??Kmac, are you sure they’re 95 grain bullets? It seems 75 might be about as heavy as most would go in a .223/5.56 loading.
