[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1275075, member: 10291"] Besides keeping an eye on pressure with the AR, it is also important that the powder burn rate be consistent with the gas cycling system timing. This was one of the early issues effecting reliability when first employed in battle in the 60's. My go to load with both my bolt rifle's and my AR15's are identical. 25gr of Varget ignited by a CCI BR4. I use 69gr SMK's almost exclusively in both my bolt and AR rifles which are used primarily for target/competition. Besides powder choice, other considerations with the AR are COAL, full length resizing, and sufficient primer hardness. I have had good success with the RCBS FL X dye which also sizes the brass length. It does reduce the need for trimming for up to 10 reloadings without detriment to my accuracy. [/QUOTE]
