[QUOTE="oneyeopn, post: 633959, member: 40193"] I have collected everything but the bullets and I have some IMR 4895 powder that has worked well for me in a lot of loads. I am trying to build some long distance bullets for my Smith and Wesson M&P15 Sport, under 300 yards it is like shooting a laser, but I want it to shoot accurately further. I have a 1-8 5R barrel and would like to draw upon other peoples knowledge as to what has worked well for them in shooting long distance. Right now I am just punching paper and really cant for see any game to hunt other than Praire Dogs or Coyotes at the long ranges. I have a 4-16x40 scope on it, I put a 8-32x42 scope on for a while but the field of view was such that shooting at a running coyote would be very difficult. The rifle is accurate enough for the higher power scope. Presently I am shooting federal 55gr XM193 5.56x45 bullets and was thinking about loading in the high 60's low 70 grain bullets. I would just like some input on what other distance shooters are doing and thinking when it comes to their AR's. I dont shoot tactical and dont have all the stuff hanging off of it. Am going to have to replace the trigger but can work up loads before that. With the 8-32 scope I am shooting 1/2 moa at 200 yards and cloverleafs at 100 so the rifle has the ability. I just need some guidance in going the right direction.
