Hornady or other good brand mid to low 60's grain boat tail hollow point. You can get 1.5 MOA or better depending on quality of barrel and ammo.

You haven't given information relevant to your question.
From what you have posted, the most anyone could say is don't go above 68 or 69 gr bullets. As far as what would be most accurate, no one can say till they shoot a few. Maybe 40 grain Vmax, could be 68 gr HPBT. Are you using a 20X scope or iron sights. What brand barrel and or ar-15 do you have would be more helpful, but still we are only guessing

Sorry to derail, but who makes a CHF 1:9 barrel? I've never seen one, just curious.

It's a new Ruger SR556C. Plan on using a Primary Arms 1-6 ACSS scope. Looking for the best ammo to stockpile for up close and distant engagements out to 400 yds. You know....the Zombie Apocalypse!!! : )

My Stag 1/9 barrel shoots the Hornady 75 grain HPBT really well, but it's a handload.

Try 68 gr from Hornady TAP Match it all shoots well.
