I've got a 14.5" Daniel Defense cold hammer forged 1:7 barrel chambered in 5.56 Nato on a custom built AR flat top carbine. She's been performing extremely well with the iron flip up sights but I want to see how she can REALLY group. I should have a mount and scope in the mail by the weekend. I recently picked up a set of Hornady 223 dies for my LNL progressive press and have run a thousand or so once fired Lake City 5.56 cases through FL sizing, cleaned and reamed primer pockets and flash holes, and re-primed with CCI small rifle magnum primers, now I need to settle on a bullet and powder combo. Just wondering if anyone has a good published load they have had success with through a tight twist shorty like this. I would assume 62gr and up bullets with powders on the faster side are probably a good direction to lean but experience rules out guesswork so let me know if you have something working well for you. Mind you I am looking for max accuracy out to 300 yards, I don't have anywhere to shoot any further than that. Please only published loads, I will drop back to starting loads and work up to your recommendation.
Thanks Folks!!!
