[QUOTE="260shooter, post: 448196, member: 2988"] I have loaded thousands of rounds with Forester dies and have no complaints. The little 16" AR is stupidly accurate with both bullets mentioned and my 18" shoots 77's .5 MOA. I also like Ramshot powders, runs through the powder measure like water and give good velocities. Exterminator for 55's and TAC for 69's. 69's have no problems with coyotes, little pelt damage. Probably a better bullet for longer range dogs (over 400 yards). Another bullet you might look at is the Sierra 65 gr SBT. A friend of mine has had good luck with it in 223 on coyotes. Probably don't need a SB die. A 5.56 NATO chamber has looser dimensions than a 223. If you have a NATO chamber and use a SB die there will be more slop in the case to chamber fit. Picture a mouse turd in a violin case. 260 [/QUOTE]
