handloads for a ar
« on: February 07, 2006, 07:41:42 AM »
I got ym self a bushmaster 20 inch target and was wondering what others had for pet loads for their ar's. I have a bunch of 60 grain nosler partitions I loaded up 50 the other night with 26 grains of imr 4320. It was the only powder I had that would work course had to go to a old loading manual to find data with 4320. MV according to data is 2600fps we'll see what my chrono says. Any info would be great. Thanks

 I would suggest highly to purchase a Lee crimp die,some would say it doesn't matter, but I've had a few bullets to push back,so I crimp all my ar-15 reloads!!!   It works on cannelure or non- cannelure bullets

 Hoped I've helped!!   Good Shooting

Thanks Slider
 
I have quite a few 50 grain ballistic tips and a large suppply of IMR3031 I just didn't know if the 1-9 twist would stablise the 50 grainers well the load with the 60gr. partition was very accurate with the 4320 I just picked up some hornady 69gr. hpbt.

Thanks again for the data, if I come up with some good ones I'll be sure to post them on here.
