This is my first attempt to make my own M193 clone for training and plinking purposes. Will the components work together?
Hornady 22cal .224 diamater 55gr FMJ-BT with cannelure LC brass Hodgdon H355 powder Tula/Wolf small rifle magnum primer. |
| Yep. Looks good to me. Looks like you did your home work. I have never used Tula/Wolf primers but they say they are GTG. They tend to have a little thicker cup from what people are saying. A good thing for the AR. Just follow the load recipes listed in the book you are using and make sure the primers are below the primer pocket. |

| I have used CCI sr, Win sr, and Rem sr. Also CCI 41, I have used them in Mag and Benchrest. I have pretty much stayed with CCI sr mainly because I have a BIG pile of them. It is recommended that you DO NOT use Federal primers in semi-auto weapons because of their sensitivity to slam fires. |

Hmmm I am a noob at reloading, and I was wondering about slam fires with federal primers. |

Sure, that will work but I'd stop at 3100fps at 72 deg out of a 20" barrel AR.. |

I used 1k fed gold medal ar match small rifle no slam fires am using fed gold medal match small rifle primers now (no ar designation) and no slam fires with those either...? |
