~215-220gr of H50 sitting behind a 650-700gr projectile should work very well

Thanks for the reply, but I am looking for something a little more prescise...

i would not waste my time hand loading for the 82a1.....i have personally shot all kinds of stuff thru mine when i had one....at best it was always a 2+moa rifle.....the finest bronze turned hand loaded stuff would only do slightly better......in the end one could not drive the gun to any difference between de-linked and custom hand loads....just the nature of the beast....and a beast it is.....i was very happy to be rid of mine, twas an education and a perceived penis extension i did not truly need.

Accuracy is a problem. It is fun as hell to shoot none the less. Thought most of the problem was the ammo. Started buying more expensive IMI "Barrett" to find a slight increase so I figure a heavier more prescise load would help even further.

the trigger is problematic also.....lighten it up,, and you get double taps, which is a real attention getter

Yes, that is true. And I do buy Federal as well from time to time when I am doing some internet shopping. I buy alot of my BMG rounds from several local shops. Which is the major price hike. Even on the French and Bosnian surplus crap I have gotten.

Re: Favorite Loads for 82A1 or M107
