Loads for 5.56/223 - 06/23/14
I just purchased a Rock River Lar 15 and will soon start reloading ammo for it, I purchased a set of small base dies and one box each of Nosler 50 gr ballistic tips and Sierra 55 gr spritzers. I have a pound of Win 748 powder and purchased a pound of Benchmark but I think I will take it back and exchange it for H335. My goal is for one to one and a half inch groups or less and still get 3000 fps from 50 to 55 gr bullets from a 16 inch barrel. I chronographed some 55 gr factory PMC rounds and they averaged 2965. I would appreciate any information regarding other loads using 50 to 55 gr bullets.
