I have a SIG556 SWAT, currently plinking 55grn reloads at 8" steel targets out to 200 yards, not really hard to do with iron sites..I've finally put a scope on itand looking for some accuray loads. I have mainly 55gr FMJBT (X-treme brand) but also have 69gr SMK. Powder is H-335. Any info will help, it's a 1:7 twist barrel...
I've researched the 55gr and looks like I will have to keep it around the 2600fps to see any accuracy.. do not know if this is true but if any Hide brothers can verify, I would appreciated. I found some Match 75grn JHPBT match I was thinking of trying, but before investing the funds any info on this weight bullet is also appreciated.
