range report
Daniel Defense AR15 with 16" government 1 in 7 barrel and a geissele two stage trigger
I seem to be on a better path with my reloading lately.
H322 22.9 Grains
SMK 52 grain HPBT
Once fired lake city brass. In my book brass is brass up until I get more precise/consistent with my loading procedures.
2.240 COAL
Range rules 1 shot a second 20 rounds out of a 20 round mag.
this is off a stack of sandbags and one round a second per the range rules. It is also after I heated up the barrel with some factory ammo.
I am still piecing together bits and bobs for a consistent recipe but this hase been my most accurate to date.

I have also had good luck with IMR 4198 but that is a pain and does not meter well.
I am sure the gun is more capable.
I have some H335 and some 77grain SMK HPBTs that I might try out.
I really need to break down and buy a chronograph to get more scientifical other than random trips to the range. I am really holding off on using the 77grain SMKs until I find a chronograph. I will stick to 55 grain Hornady soft points until that point.
What are the thoughts from the group?
