I've decided to upgrade my basic AR to a decent distance shooting gun. Application will be shooting targets at my ranch in the 300-500 yard range and whacking critters that may wander into same. So far I've ordered a White Oak 20" varmint upper (1/8 twist) and a Geissele match trigger, tbd on the 'scope (suggestions welcomed) and accessories.
So far I've only loaded pretty basic .223 rounds for plinking at the range with bulk 55 grain bullets and 25 grains of H-335 with the CCI primers. My understanding is that a heavier bullet (77 grains?) may be better. Any suggestions for loads (powders/bullets)?
Thanks!
