[QUOTE="Rusty54, post: 1439161, member: 48086"] Gary Ive read all the other replies to your question. Unfortunately, and this thread isn't unique, they put the cart before the horse. What most reloaders are not realizing is that your brass cartridges must be uniformed and properly cleaned to be able to use them to work up a uniformly accurate load. To do this I turn the necks on all my brass, regardless of the brand, make sure flash holes are at least at minimum dia., Case length cut uniformly, all cases sorted by weight in lots not varying by more than 2.0grain and by mfg. The powders I use to compete with the 5.56 are primarily IMR4064 and IMR4895, there are other powders that are just as good" I've used many of them. You don't need heavy bullets to compete at 200yds either, save the heavys for longer distance. Just remember the casing is the foundation of your load! Look up David Tubbs on You Tube. The best tutorial I have seen yet! [/QUOTE]
