I almost parted out and sold all my AR's except one carbine after years of horrible accuracy.

2000-MR, CFE, Varget, BLC2, 75 BTHP, 52-55 Vmax's and the list goes on.


I bought a case of Federal Gold Medal Match 69 SMK's and every 223 AR including a PSA pistol shot less than 1.5" five shot groups at 100.

Any clue what powder Federal uses for this load?

I suspect but don't know for certain, I may just be pushing them too hard.


Currently using 'lever and like it but I have a bigly amount of 2000-MR.


The latest build is a 6 Grendel and the first trip out and it was shooting less than 1.25" five shot at a 100 with 105 BTHP's, surely I can get the 223 handloads sorted out.
