Intended use: Match  
Notes\Comments: This load shoots the best groups in my 14.5in carbine. I developed this load specifically for shorter ranges out to 300 yards so chrony data wasn't considered or taken. This load will shoot 28 rounds into about 2 inches at 100 yards in my factory M4-gery. A lee factory crimp die was used and moderately crimped mid cannalure.
