It’s not amazing but at least I know the rifle isn’t sick. I’ll look around for some 155 Lapuas or something else that strikes my fancy for bullets. I’m cheap with the ARs. I’d like to shoot a sorta cheap bullet I can load without feeling pinched too much.

I ran the load over the chrono and it went 2627 AVG of 3 shots. Seems about right for an 18” gun. Not sure what else would smoke them out any faster.

Dang, I have a bunch of 30 cal FMJ I pulled, I could have sent you with the swifts the other day. Ha ha. I didn't know you were playing around with an AR10 308 though.. Just for chidts and giggles and I'm cheap too, when it comes to blasting my AR10 308, I loaded up some 150gr FMJ pulled from surplus 1942 military ammo and it shot well enough. My Armalite isn't really a tack driver, but I was surprised it shot less than 1.5 moa with the old bullets:

I hate burning up good ammo in mine.
