[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1156472, member: 90399"] AR's go through ammo to fast to use a powder like 4064 that meters so poorly. You'll end up trickling and weighing every round which is a lot of work and time for the quantity of ammo an AR will go through. 4064 is a great "all round" powder to have on hand and I do use it in certain rifles. I think you would be better served with a powder that is known for metering well out of a powder thrower. I have had great luck with H322. I don't even weigh powder charges anymore because it meters so well. Check out my results on the 2nd post down on this page: [U][U][U][URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f111/moa-challenge-157578/index6.html[/URL][/U][/U][/U] 8 shots in one tiny .25 inch hole. I have reproduced this a few times now. My rifle is just a stock cheap Del-Ton Lite. Nothing special. I reproduced the results once with a 20 shot group. It was still a 1 hole group, but did measure larger than the .25 inch 8 shot group. Only time in my life I've shot 20 shots through 1 hole. And I did it with a $450 semi auto AR and a $100 used scope. Half of me is super pumped that my AR can shoot that great. The other have of me is ****ed because I haven't done that with any of my bolt guns that I have way more money and time into. [/QUOTE]
