[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1507894, member: 94491"] I too have a lightweight 16" AR10 variant that I run suppressed (just over 6 pounds with optics- sans suppressor) I run the 178eldx @ 2475fps--- I have tried numerous powders and bullet weights and always come back to the 178eldx for downrange energy and less wind drift (yet more drop than lightweight bullets). At my altitude It will still retain 1000ft lbs out to 800 yards with this combo and it holds an mpbr of 270 yards when zeroed just over 2.5" high at 100Y if you decide not to shoot those SMK in your short barrel you might try the eld-x for reliable lower speed expansion [/QUOTE]
