AR 14.5 ammo choice

[Xmascritters]

Hi,

I am getting ready to shoot a match with a possibility of shooting out to 600-700 yards.
The rifle I am using is a 14.5 unsuppressed with a 2-10x32.

My question is should I run 77gr or would it be better to something like 68gr to get the velocities up higher?

I've done quite a bit with both bullet weights, and at those ranges the BC vs. velocity is pretty much a wash. Past 800 the 77's are more consistent, even running slowly out of 12"-13.7" barrels.

My preference is for heavier 77gr projectiles because they'll give better feedback as you start pushing .223 to longer distances.

Try to find some 77gr MK262 or IMI Razorcore. They run a bit faster than most 77gr loads, and shoot well in most rifles.
