New to reloading .223/ 5.56 here. Loading for ARs only.
Looking to make some informed decisions on bullet selections, there are a lot of choices out there.
Right now, I've got 1000pcs of some 55gr FMJ-BT w/ cannelures M193's.
From having shot strictly Factory ammunition in MSR platforms up to this point, I've found the closest to 1 MOA I've ever had at 100 to 200yds. was using M193 ball or Remington UMC 55gr FMJs. It outshot Fiocchi 77gr SMKs in my Colt CAR-A3 H-BAR with 1:9 twist barrel. (I quickly learned that a barrel with that twist rate likes better the lighter bullets)
I have some other M4 length carbines with 1/7 twist barrels, but I don't really consider those as much of precision guns as the H-Bar.
Any suggestions?
Using H-335 as I've got a good bit of it.
