Very nice! I'm trying to find a decent load that this will shoot accurately, and then be able to use that in my ARs for HD or hunting or whatever. Did you see any flattened primers at the lower charges and especially on the top end?
@@DummyRound absolutely. You need some truly tough primers with Enforcer. "5.56" types or small rifle magnum seem to work for me. My load data from lyman, lee, and western powders all put a 110 vmax at 19.3 gr with a COAL of 2.068. I load to 2.075 and I was backing primers out at max charge. I've stemmed that problem by downloading to 19.0. They're accurate and I only need those to work once, so not too concerned with trashing the brass after 1 shot. Has a way of loosening the primer pockets unless you load pretty far down.
@@DummyRound I should note I've almost exclusively went to chopping PMC brass down, as the primer pockets seem tougher than LC brass. Also, there's usually no need to ream or swage* PMC pockets, so you can keep all the brass where it needs to be. I've been able to get a few shots out of them at high charges. I sadly can't consistently say the same for LC. It's a shame because it works fantastically in .223/5.56. EDIT: when I say PMC, I do not mean PSD. PSD has thick walls that don't chop down well.
I was using the Remington 7-1/2s, which are supposedly "bench rest", though I'm not sure that's the same as a "magnum". I do have other magnums I could try... but, like you said, you only really need it to work once for those types of loads. I will have to retry the one center charge that grouped up nicely, or just start over completely with a better piece of glass up top. As far as brass, I have probably 90% LC. The rest are all mixed headstamps I gathered from the list of usable cases from the 300blktalk forums. I think I have some of the PSD cases in there, definitely some PMC. Maybe I'll try to find 5 of each headstamp and do a comparison someday when I find a load that works in the LC. Thanks for sharing🤠👍
@@DummyRound happy to help! Republic had murom 5.56 on sale for like 5 or 6 cents each not too long ago. They're what I use for them now. Nice sturdy cup that won't flatten nearly as fast and load in easy. Regular small rifle was just flattening at just above minimum charge, no matter what brand I tried. Beginning to think small rifle was a typo in the testing.
all the manufactures make budget scopes. vortex diamondback. leopold freedom. sig buckmaster. etc. ive also got my dad to get a arken thats impressive too. whoteewho has a code for 25% off arken too.
I am liking enforcer powder!!
Definitely showing potential 👌
Right on! A black tipped version of my own HD loads. 110 VMAX over a healthy charge of ramshot enforcer, PMC and LC converted brass.

Very nice shooting video. I get bugs on my face too 😆
I need to work on the shooting, but it was fun either way! Thanks and have a great weekend.

but i think that new burris elimator w built in range finder is awesome
I have a nicer scope I just need to move over for testing. Never heard anything bad about Arken, either!
