Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - 69BTHP loaded to NATO/5.56 Pressure
Posted: 7/25/2003 8:29:43 AM EDT
Can this be done and is there any manuals?
Ive reloaded for years but with all the Cheap 5.56mm surplus around I never bought Dies!
Were can one find 5.56mm/Nato loadings for the 69/68bthp I have a 1/9 twist on my Shorty so this is the heavyest I will go!
Now the 69bthp shoot great in my Bushy 20hbar but I have never shot the 69bthp out of my little Bushy? I think it will be fine since I have shot 10000rds without a Hic Up.

Has anyone tried doing this with the 68/69bthp???

Military loads are at or slightly above SAAMI maximum loads.  I can NOT recommend someone new to reloading attempt these loads, especially with used brass, as there is NO margin for error, and the consequences of getting it wrong with rifle ammo are much more severe.  Think 70,000+ PSI of pressure blowing your gun apart right in front of your face.
