88 gr Hornady ELD-M, .223 loadouts

[hunter1959]

looking to utilize the 1-7 twist of my AR's with a heavier bullet... but am also concerned about magazine loading... for those who have done this, is there enough case space for a long range accuracy load of powder, and still fit in standard AR-15 mag?

Nope

Negative. I think the only way you could shoot that bullet in an AR would be to single load a barrel with a longer throat.

73g eld is the heaviest you can load for a ar. Everything heavier doesnt have the bc the the eld does. At least to my knowledge
