[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1065330, member: 2939"] In these days of dwindling powder choices I expanded 223 reloading to include AR-Comp powder. You can load @ 2000 rounds out of a 8# jug using 28 grains of powder. Max load for the 55 gr. on the Allient powder sight listed 25.6 So I loaded 10 each at 25.3 25.6, and 25.9 62 gr. was not listed so I guessed at 24.1 and 24.4 I also took along previously loaded 55 and 62 grain using CFE powder. I was using my match grade .223 24 inch Stainless target barrel. Just a super accurate AR to shoot and CFE is a very accurate powder. AR-comp lived up to what it said it could do. The 25.9 avg 3340 fps with a 12 fps ES. The 62 gr were slower at 3100 with a 17 ES My 20 inch barrels generally lose about 200 fps. So these are an accuracy round not hot rods.
