rdsii64: No harm and do not worry. I really appreciate your posting this. You are a stand up guy and eveery bit a good guy as I thought you might be. Thanks again for all your help and best wishes. Sincerely, Dave

rdsii64; On yours and Kevins recomendation I ordered the Hornady 53gn Vmax and N133. It sounds like the best of all I have considered. I had thought W748 but n133 sounds better. Thanks for all your input and Kevins too. Sincerely Dave

rdsii64: I appreciate your corrected information. I am convinced that your right about hte N133. I am sorry I did not see your reply sooner. and I appreciate your trying to correct it. Say have you had any exposure to TAC or IMR 82208 XBR? Thanks Dave

Kevin: Do you have an opinion on TAC and IMR, Co IMR 8208 XBR? Thanks Dave

Kevin: If a person did load N150 what velocity would it generate using a 53gn bullet? Would it throw a fireball of unused powder? Just wondering? Thanks Dave

Kevin: Yes I was looking at your site and trying to see what you all thought. Thanks for the help and your help is always appreciated. Dave

Rdsii64; I really appreciate your reply. I had decided the 53g Vmax was the bullet to get. Your reply confirms my choice. You have me wondering about the N150. I so far have not found any loading info on N150 but is it not a slower burning powder designed for heavier bullets? I read your bio...

Kevin: The suggestions sound great and thats something I will check out. Againj I really appreciate all your help. Dave

Kevin: I really appreciate your help. I have about desided that maybe 748 would be the way to go. I am always looking for the most speed and accuracy I can get. But the AR15 is not the same as say a 30/338 Lapua or 300 Ultra. Thanks Dave

Kevin: Ok Ill rise to the bait. LOL what would be your favorite powder ? I have just been going by whats in the reloading manuals and not shot any on the range myself yet. 748 looks good also IMR 3031 maybe> Dave

Kevin; I really appreciate your advice. I was looking at Hornady's reloading manual and they used a 1/12 twist barrel in their 223 Remington testing. Which brings me to ask what do you think about BL-C2 powder? Thanks Dave

Thanks very much. Does anyone know why the 5.56 xm855 would not work? I read that the military manual says not to use except in emergency combat situations. To use the xm193. Just curious as to why. Thanks Dave

I am looking for info on what bullet weight and powder to use with the 1/12 twist barrel. I have read that the XM193 military ammo was what should be used. I just got this rifle and wanted to find out whats best. All information is greatly appreciated. I am thinking H335 and a 55gn bullet...

Nomad is pretty accurate on Texas hunting. I am no fan of High fence hunting either. I have hunted the King Ranch and will say that what I have seen there is worlds better than anywhere else in Texas, but it is pricey. Bird hunting such as Dove is a ritual in Texas and lots of fun. I would take...

I must say everyones advice has been first rate and you would do well to follow what has been stated here. I am going to give you one more source of loading info I use when I want to see everyones load on a bullet I am trying. It is Steves reloading data. He has posted all the different...
