25/223 Barrel

[ccooper]

Hello, i have been lurking here for a while and now I think I need a 25 ar upper to go with my rob, roy, and 06. My question is which wildcat requires the least amount of brass prep or has the most data available. Also where is a good source for a barrel, I am looking for one with traditional not polyagonal rifling. I am not needing a select match barrel but would like an 18inch stainless bull barrel with a mid lenth gas system. Sorry for the long first post

Welcome to the forum

thanks for the welcome. So far I have gleaned that 335 is a good powder for these loads, I hope so as I have ~27 lbs of that on hand. I am hoping to load 87gr siera varmiteers and 100 gr nos;er partitions.

One more ?, I have mocked up a few peices of brass using virgin LC brass a 223 FL sizing die then necking up with a Lee 25-06 collet neck sizing die and seating bullets with a 223 seating die. Everything measures to spec using this combination but I did split a couple of necks us 5X fired RP brass( they are out of the rotation so I tried with them first) would this hodge podge die set work.
