[QUOTE="Sam Summey, post: 1717227, member: 109601"] Little input here. I shoot service rifle. My friends and I have tested many loads in the 69 gr and 77 gr range for 5.56 service loads. We have noticed 69 gr shoot well at 200 and 300 yards but accuracy falls off at 600 yards. The 77 gr loads do not shoot as well at 200 yards as they do at 300 yards. We are using 1:7 twist barrels that are recommended for bullets 69-80 gr. We suspect that the 77s are not quite stabilized at 200 yards. Velocity for these bullets is around 2500-2700 fps. Just saying... [/QUOTE]
