[QUOTE="crankbait, post: 1126576, member: 87506"] For range shooting out to 200 yards, I buy Hornady 150 gr FMJBT by the gross - 1K at a time. For that load I like 39 grains of Alliant AR Comp. IMHO the reduced LC case volume keeps the more moderate charges at good velocity and pressure. For the Hornady 150gr FMJBT I use a COAL of 2.775 and a taper crimp right in the center of the cannelure ring. I get 1 MOA accuracy or better all day every day with this load - and I can do it for about 25 cents per round (or better). I have had no issues with a Geisselle 4 pound trigger and CCI primers. I use LC brass and RCBS small base full length sizing die. Lots of lube. The LC I use an RCBS military crimp remover and primer pocker uniformer. I also use the K&M Precision flash hole deburring tool and the RCBS ID and OD neck chamfering tools on my case prep center. Every case goes through a wilson gauge. For the 1:10 twist G2 Recon 16 inch barrel - IMHO the 168gr AMAX is the most accurate round I have shot. I load it to a COAL of 2.800 and use a taper crimp. I like 41 grains of IMR 8208XBR in the Lake City Brass. For hunting this season I plan on using Lapua brass with 43 grains of IMR 8208XBR and 165 gr Sierra GameKing soft point boat tails. I love the RCBS Chargemaster. Way cool. The AR Comp I find everywhere, and I have not seen Varget in three years. You use what you can get. Buy what you need on the spot - because it won't be there in another few hours. I like the IMR 8208XBR because it packs a bit denser, and I found one 8 pound jug of it. Both AR Comp and 8208 seem to be very clean burning. [/QUOTE]
