Title: AR15 heavy weight bullets. What are you shooting?
Post by: jasnt on May 15, 2016, 07:28:36 PM: Just finished up my first build. It's a 16" 1:7 416r SS. I've been working up loads and haven't found one my rifle really like except the nosler 77gr hpbt. Tried the otm's but not quite as good. I want to shoot heavys but wonder what everyone else likes. This is my first ar to load for, I'm starting the learning curve for semi's I guess but I keep wanting to treat it like a bolt gun lol
What loads do your rifles like?

this will be my varmint gun( whistle pigs to coyote) but I want to stick with heavies as I'm a long range guy and love to push the limits on range. I haven't tried the smk's yet but was looking them over tonight
