Agreed! However, I'm not new to shooting, but I am new to reloading. I'm a pretty decent shot, but I can ALWAYS use practice on my mechanics. I'm just trying work up a load for a 69 grain match bullet for my 18" 1:8 twist match grade barrel. The first recipe I tried yielded about 1.5" groups at 100 yards. I'd like to shrink that about half an inch or more. It occurred to me (after I assembled them)that I used a mixture of 223 and 5.56 brass. I just didn't know if that would have an appreciable difference in accuracy.
Thank you all for sharing your information. Being new to reloading, I seem to have a lot of questions AFTER THE FACT.
Next batch I will increase the powder to the next level and use all Hornady 223 brass. Let's see what happens...
