Should we start a list of our pet loads for our AR-15's??

My rig is a fairly stock Colt MTC H-BarII  16" 1/9" Barrel w/Free-Floating Handgaurd, Leupold 4.5-14x40 Tactical  or Eotech 551 w/NV,  (Depending on how close, and/or fast the target is!!)

My most accurate load is as follows:

Brass:  Remington
Primer: CCI BR-4
Bullet: Serria 63gr. Semi-Pt. #1370 (BC .231)
Powder:  2230
Weight: 24.5 grains
OAL: 2.265"
MV: 2800 fps
ME: 1,097 ft.lbs.

 This is "BY FAR" the best combo I have found for my set-up.
 If you haven't tried the Serria 63gr. Semi-Point bullet, you could very well be missing out on a real find.
 Loaded at 2.265" OAL, in my rig the ogive of this "Semi-Pointed" bullet is within 1/32" of the barrel lands when chambered at full battery...., while the OAL is still short enough to fit & funtion perfectly in all my mags!!!

 .5" MOA 5-groups all day long in my rig,  with groups as tight as .25" MOA on an very steady day!!

  "If you're a varmit, be afraid....., be very Afraid!!!"

I'm always game to try something new....., Watcha' Got???

This is my current favorite by far:

Brass: Federal
Primer: Federal
Bullet: Nosler Ballistic Tip 55 Gr. Spitzer #39560
Powder: IMR 4320
Weight: 27 grains
OAL: 2.260"
MV: 3075 fps
Chamber pressure: 50300(cup)

.5 MOA all day long, but currently limited by my shooting ability. My new bipod will hopefully improve it.

So far this is the most accurate load I've ever tested in a scoped Colt 6601 20" HBAR. My press is a Dillon 550b.
