[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 938042, member: 51650"] Lots of favorite loads here but I have a good one for you. 55 grain flat base bullet seated out to SAAMI max cartridge length. Any case. 23.5 grains of H322. Any standard small rifle primer. I have shot this load in five different AR/M16 platforms with barrels from 11.5" to 20" and it delivers 50 consecutive shots into an inch @ 100 yds. The flat base bullets are inherently more accurate than boat tails because they are easier to make consistent and the gas release at the muzzle is concentric. Benchrest Shooters use flat base bullets almost exclusively and that is good enough for me. I have shot this load to 500 meters with iron sights and it is as good at that range as any other except for wind drift. The 55 grainers are cheaper and for fun you don't need anything more. In 223/556 accuracy over 50+ rounds is way more important than 3 shot groups. Midway just had a sale on Barnes 55 gr FBHP Varmint bullets for $57/500. You can't beat that with a stick! H322 has won more Benchrest Matches than all other powders combined. There is a reason H322 did that, it flat out delivers. KB [/QUOTE]
