Just a quick question about what bullet I should be looking at for 100-yard .223 loads. Should it be the 52gr or 53gr match bullets? Something else cheaper in a different weight that usually shoots well? (I'm looking merely for MOA accuracy on the cheap, to hold the X-ring on an SR-1 target.)
And if choosing between 748 or Varget, which powder?
The rifle is a 1-7" twist AR-15. I've loaded and fired many, many heavier bullet loads (69-80gr) at 200, 300 and even 600 yards with it. I'm just looking for something hopefully lighter on the wallet for close-range practicing in the winter, and if it shoots a little better than the heavy loads at 100, that would be a plus.
Thanks all.
