OP barm Campfire Tracker Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 4,096 Virginia	I have a bunch of 40 grain bullets to shoot and I am looking for what would be the lightest charge to try in my 5.56 which would still cycle the action. Looking at my loading manuals it looks like 4198, Reloader 7, and VV 130 would give decent velocities with the lightest charges. Has anyone tried these powders or others with 40's in an AR 15?
