All of my 1/9 uppers shoot the 77gr SMK like a champ. My DSA upper shoots the 77 better than the 69 and 55 grain stuff.

If you where looking at throwing some rounds down range around 600-700yrds with a 16 inch 1/9 twist ar what would be the best ammo? Im not trying to drive nails but would like to have a nice group. Commercial or hand loaded? Commercial target ammo would be Black Hills 77 SMK, and Commercial Mil Spec would be IMI 855. There are other and YMMV. |

Quoted:
69gr SMK's Glen Zediker in his books, suggests that the smaller grain bullets 68/69 will usually be more accurate than the 75/77. However, the wind will blow them around more at long distances. So for shorter long ranges, choose 68/69 and for longer choose 75/77. http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/pid=35664/Product/The-Competitive-AR-15-by-Glen-Zediker
