145gr LRX 280ai powder choice

I started at 55.0gr and was getting ~3020fps. I stopped at 57.0gr when I was getting very faint ejector marks on the brass. Accuracy at 57.0gr in my rifle was right at an inch too with no appreciable gain in velocity with a slightly lower charge.

Cheap .223 projectiles

I haven't great luck with any 55gr FMJs besides the Hornady 55gr FMJs. They are often (not sure about nowdays) $70 or $80 per 1000 and are very accurate. I have no experience with the Palmetto/AAC brand.

Crispi boot dilemma

I love my Guide GTXs but my feet also don't sweat much. I can see them not being great for folks who sweat a bit.
