Duplicating MK 262 Mod 1 Ammo

Ive been trying my hand at reloading 5.56 rounds in an attempt to duplicate the Black Hills MK262 Mod 1 ammunition that supplied to the US Military for use in the 18" SBR. Im using LC brass, CCI 41 primers and SMK 77 gr with the cannelure. My understanding is the military load develops a velocity of around 2,750 fps. Just for note, I measured the volume of the case with a seated bullet set to 2.260 COAL so I would not overfill the case and have a compressed powder issue. In working up my powder charges, the cases reached the point where they were filled with powder. I first used RE15 powder but was not getting velocities above 2610 fps. CFE223 powder reached a max velocity of 2630 fps. IMR 8208XBR powder reached a velocity of 2720 fps. I now have some TAC powder that i will try next. Im not an expert in reloading but Im giving it the ole college try.

I was wondering if anyone else is trying their hand at duplicating the MK 262 ammo and if you would be willing to share your thoughts and receipts.

Thanks!

Loads for 6.5 SAUM 4S

Since the GAP 6.5 SAUM 4S has taken off, the http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...185807-new-gap-extreme-hunter-6-5-saum-3.html thread in the bolt action rifles section has become cluttered with many posts making it extremely time consuming to locate data within the thread. If you have a rifle chambered in this caliber and would like to share your load, please post the following:

1. Details of rifle ie. builder, action, barrel, twist, barrel length, chamber finishing reamer used etc.
2. Powder & charge weight
3. Primer
4. Brass (Brand & purchased processed or processed yourself - trim length)
5. Bullet (please post lot#)
6. Seating depth COAL or base to ogive (please specify)
7. Velocity (list type of chronograph used)
8. Best and worst group attained with said load (3 shot groups are more than adequate)
9. List any game you harvested with this rifle and please included distance of shot.
10. This thread is extremely photo friendly!! Please include photos of your rifle, shot groups, brass preparation, loaded 6.5 SAUM 4S ammo, spent casings, harvested game.
11. If you can think of anything pertinent that would add useful / helpful information to the thread feel free to add it in your post..

Photos are 100% optional but are appreciated.

Please do not post in this thread unless you can provide the aforementioned data request. Lets keep the clutter of "Hey nice group, Nice rifle, have you seen ......? etc.." down to a minimum.

Yes I have seen the thread http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-reloading/195161-care-feeding-gap-6-5-saum.html and Pat posted EXCELLENT and EDUCATIONAL information. Unfortunately it has quickly become cluttered with meaningless posts creating obstacles while trying to extract pertinent information.

Thank you!

8208xbr thoughts

Looking for advice on 8208 xbr from veterans who load with it. Loading only for gas guns 2 of which i am pushing for accuracy 223 and 308. I read many people having success with it. Loading 69gr and 77gr in 223. 168gr and 175gr in 308. Have TAC for 223 and TAC, IMR 4895 and Ar comp as well. Would I be stupid not to try 8208 xbr. I read its very versatile across both calibers. It is a clean or dirty burning powder.

6mm ARC Easy Button

I’ve been running 6ARC in a number of platforms for a while now, both gas and bolt, and my latest 20” gas gun has confirmed something I felt worth mentioning:

Leverevolution (LVR) is among the most optimized powders for this cartridge, which is nothing new, but for some strange reason the following load just seems to work in everything I shoot regardless of barrel length or gas/bolt:

Berger 105gr Hybrid
28.5gr LVR
GM205MAR
2.245” COAL
Starline or resized Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass

I’ve got a bunch of 109 LRHTs I use in a 6mm Creedmoor, and wanted to go back and try these in the new 6ARC barrel. Sure, I could get them to shoot fine, but when I used the above load as a control I just shook my head and thought “I should just stick to this.”

The other bullet that works really well in my shorter gas guns is the 103 ELD-X, but I have some barrels that don’t like it.

Who do you root for when 2 worthless parasites argue about who has more authority?

Well at least this one wants to get in the school, sometimes they like hanging out in the parking g lot for 77 fucking minutes.

No fan of public school teachers/ administrators either but these pigs sure hate it when they have to follow the rules everyone else who enters that building has to follow .

Almost made this one a pole - who fucks more kids public school teachers / administrators or cops ?
