[QUOTE="Str8shooterTX, post: 1076316, member: 82571"] OK powder gurus. 16" 223 AR and 26" bolt 308. In the AR I would only go up to maybe 60-68gr bullet in the AR. Currently only using Fiocchi 40gr and 50gr V-Max bullets with occasional FMJ 55GR PMC Bronze. Anyone use the same powder for both? I see where a faster burn powder could be needed for the 16" 223 and something like IMR 4064 or varget works good for 308. Has anyone tried varget in a 16" barrel? I always run corked so flame thrower would not be an issue but I'd like to get the best FPS I can out of such a short barrel. I am just getting started in reloading and still have a large bit of ammo in 223 to go through first so I have time. (and plenty of brass from it to use) [/QUOTE]
