I guess I should say assumptions towards some of us.. anyhow what do you shoot through your AR15... don't ph ucking say green tip ball ammo either.. you better have 650 or 1050 rolling out some good stuff.

Yes, I meant Varget. In the day with 80s, it was all we had, top of the line. Then we found N540.. Varget went out the door. And there was TAC. Can't help but be as good or better powders by now too. BUT Varget was accurate, one of my best 600 yard 5 shot groups with a hummer Krieger was 1.25 inches with a rough tape measure... that particular barrel was just hot. And the junior who owned it made decent use of it for sure.

Yes, 62 and maybe a bit over on mil spec. If the gun handles that, then it handles any stuff at 62 or so... even if 223 is around 55? max. Stupid things BUT it takes into consideration some variables and safety.

50-100 fps really doesn't matter though if you can buy a higher BC generally speaking, its a better trade off.

I didn't have time to check the links. I have not shot competitively since 2004, and if I started again Id' have to read up on a LOT I suppose.

In my normal todays hunting guns, I can be 200 FPS slower than most folks think is acceptable and I'll do fine this side of 600 or so...which is more than enough since I have not had the need to shoot past 350 lately, and the wife has not had the need to shoot past 270 yards lately either.

90% of what I shoot is factory Federal 75grain TMJ. The rest is a mix of factory Federal 62grain FMJ, factory Speer 75grain Gold Dot, and factory 69grain GMM.

For any long range shooting I do this year I'll be shooting DoubleTap Ammo 69 or 77HPBT.

Long range and 69 will hand you your azz.... but then again long range starts at 600. 69s are ok at 300. Just ok. 69s at 600 can give you a miss before you blink if you don't see a change or a reversal coming.. especially let ups which are HARD for me to see.

The first couple of mid range shoots I did we had a fella shooting service rifle. Representing the national guard, anyhow he was using green tip ammo m855 stuff. His scores showed it, next shoot shows up again with 62gr green tip ammo. I said get some 75gr hornady stuff or 77gr Sierra's factory ammo. He said nope, I want the guard to get it, said ok. 3rd shoot he goes I broke down bought some cbc ammo loaded with the 77gr Sierra. Guess what his scores went up like 30 points.
