Tee time or the proper use for golf balls
« on: January 30, 2015, 09:21:07 PM »
I love my mil surp rifles but they are not quite as accurate as this AR that I have. LC turned me on to a specific load that no matter what powder / powder charge / bullet combo I can't beat. I did bump it up half a grain 'cause this rifle likes it hot.
 Went to the range with my dad a couple of weeks ago, tried out more loads and resorted to the ol' stand by 24 grains of H322, CCI 450 primers and Nosler 55 grain ballistic tipped projectiles. Out came the golf balls, set on water bottles.
 Long story short, three shots at 100 yards and three properly ventilated golf balls. Oh yeah, the dude with all the bells and whistles on his AR that couldn't hit a two foot square box got miffed and left after the golf ball incindent.



Didn't even knock over the water bottles and one golf ball was MIA. When the other guy was shoving his rifle in the truck my dad said " ya know, your a dick " I said " I love you too Pop "

Those are the exit wounds, damned golf balls healed up on the other side. The entrance was just a dark round spot.

 As far as this load for live breathing animals, Gunny Sgt. Wade, my boss at work reports that at 150 yards he has rolled several coyotes and they roll three times and die before they hit the ground. Hogs are a different story. Gunny lets his kids shoot first on the hogs and they squeal a couple of times and drop to the ground ( the hogs not the kids). The hogs that he had in his trap were six big 350 pound plus females and wouldn't turn side ways so he could get them behind the ear with a .22. Gunny got pissed and whipped out the AR, I guess that four tours in Afghanistan might shorten ones patience when it comes to making things die. Six shots to the forehead, went through the skull, split in half and blew out the sides of both shoulders at a 90 degree angle to the entry. Dead pigs, no squeal, no muss, no fuss.

A nice accurate load that is effective on what ever you shoot it at, punching paper, golf balls or living breathing targets. CMD

That is because I was ridin' the short bus and failed to post it. It's nothing fancy mostly put it together on the kitchen table, Rock River barell in .223 Wylde.

I've been told .223 Wylde is the Cat's meow as concerns all things .223 and 5.56. Catmandoo just proved it it would seem.

Man I'm just full of it today rofl rofl

That poor Titleist got it's head blown off!
I like trying to shoot golf balls with handguns but it usually amounts to nothing more than a waste of ammo. But hey, aim small miss small right?
It's fun shooting old Balata golf balls. All your new golf balls are made from a harder material called surlyn. In Balata balls the core is a thinner rubber and sometimes wrapped with string. It's cool to see their guts blasted out. Nice shooting Cat!

I haven't worked up to the 300y range yet for grouping, but, I was hitting a six inch plate @ 480y using this load and a three mil hold over. You could hear the round crackling through the air all the way to the target.  8)

I hope SlumberingBear reads this thread, I appreciate his work on the load.
