Anyone have any loads that they use with Ramshot x-terminator? I have about ten pounds of this stuff and would like to use in my AR. I have about 2k of 62 grain bullets to load up and I was looking to see if anyone had used these components. Any advice, opinions, etc. would be helpful.
Thanks

I have used it in 55 FMJ and 60 grain V-max loads. It is a good clean powder. It's best with lighter bullets, but will also work with the medium weight one's also.

Here's Ramshot's data for a 62 grain in 223 Rem. If you are running a 5.56 NATO chamber, you can go a little higher in charge weight over max.
