What recipe do you reloaders use for your AR's? Varmint hunting loads.

I personally don't know but the folks in the AR15 Ammunition section would probably know.

This may get moved there anyways, but under "Armory" there is a reloading section. Lots of good information there.

In my 16" I load 62gr SS109 with 24 grain R15 and magnum primer. I have only been reloading for two years but i like how it shoots in my 1/9.

SS109 for varmints

I use 55 gr. soft points with 24.7 gr of AA2230 and magnum primer. This works well for varmints, them rabbits usually explode on impact.

I took 4 coyote this year with that same load. I would never shoot a bunny!

Sure, for those low flying lightly armored yotes

This is a good load:
Hornady V-Max 55gr. 27.0gn Varget about 3300fps out of a 16" 1x9

Haven't hunted 'yotes with this load, but I like a Hornady 55grn SP over 26.0 grns of BS(C)-2.
