For anyone that has used these bullets before.
What powder/charge did you use?
And did you have any problems with these bullets not maintaining a consistent COAL very well.
Loading these rounds i'm having trouble with the COAL going from 2.248" all the way to 2.260".
Never had this problem with any other bullet. That variance seems extreme to me. Yes, I know these are JUNK bullets and i should not expect too much from them, but dang thats alot.
Using:
Win brass
trimmed to 1.750"
24.0gr of BL-C (2)
62gr Armscor FMJ
My setting i was shooting for COAL was 2.255"
I was using the loading data out of the Speer manual for their 62gr FMJ bullet. The email from Armscor said it would be safe to use that data.
Search is your friend...:-)
62 gr Armscor
I have the same problem...but they seem to shoot well....
Just load them a tad shorter and have fun....
What OAL are you loading the 62's to and what primers are you using with that load?
I've got 500 of these I'm going to load for plinking since they were cheap and haven't got to experiment with them yet, I've been loading 60gr Nosler BT to 2.250 with 23.5gr of benchmark and CCI400 primers with good groups at 50 yards.
I have so many different bullets, powders, & primers I find it hard to stick with a single load and even harder to find the time to correctly work up loads for all of them.
So far I shoot 55gr FMJ with 25gr H335 loaded to 2.250 with #41 primers, 60gr BT's with 23.5 gr of Benchmark loaded to 2.250 with 400 primers(need to try this load with the 7 1/2 primers), and still have 77gr MK, 69gr MK, and these 62gr FMJ's to find good loads for in my 6920.
I also have Varget (6lbs) and Rem. 7 1/2 primers (2k) to work with, any help with known good loads with 16" 5.56 chambered 1/7 barrels for these components ( and I don't believe the what works in mine wont work in yours because we all shoot the same factory ammo with almost the same results, even high pressure Mil-spec 5.56 loads)
Oh and I use only LC Nato brass, mostly new 07, but have some OF 05 & 06 as well.
