Like the title says… What is your go to recipe for slinging lead thru your m16? More specifically, what case, powder, primer, charge and oal? I have a good amount of 55 grain hornady fmjbt with cannelure.
Thx in advance for sharing. |

So I have always read that everyone is afraid of running reloads in a RR. Does anyone have an issue with that or are people just afraid of reloads? i trust my DILLON 650 reloads more than factory ammo edit to add- I also trust factory ammo more than somebody else's reloads

What I've done at my third station (Dillion press) where I set my bullet on top of the case is I mounted a small flashlight that shines into the case and lets me see there is a powder charge in the case. THOSE are the only cartridges I would shoot. As for the .223 I'll just use factory ammo. |
| I load a little soft, mid range 223. My current setup is 26.5 gr of CFE 223 with Remington 7.5 primers and a 55 Hornady FMJ. It's actually an accurate load, but not very impressive for velocity. Most mgs run fine with minimum loads, why go crazy when your just shooting dirt or steel. |
