So I finally got out yesterday to shoot all of my work up loads for 3 different rifles. A Colt LE901 .308, a Colt SP6720 Tactical Light Carbine (Talo TLC), and a Ruger Mini 30 Tactical.
I was surprised at the difference in accuracy when working up to the right charge and then going over it. These custom loads definitely shoot better than the factory stuff.
Here is the best load for the Ruger. 28.0 gr. H4895 behind a 123 gr. Hornady Z-Max bullet with Winchester LR primer and Winchester brass. Not sure why the Ruger's get such a bad wrap for accuracy. Not bad to me for an AK round in a 6# semi-auto rifle with a 16" barrel.
