looking to reload for an new ar-15

[Prebanpaul]

I am looking to load for a new ar that I just recently bought. I have been running a gas piston bushmaster for some time and it shoots well. I have since upgraded to an LWRC.

I am trying to find a heavier bullet above .62 grains in weight to shoot. I also want it to be able to be fed reliably out of the magazine.

I am shooting a 1/7 twist 16 inch longer barrel with suppressor. I have the DEA model that LWRC makes with some modifications.

What are some of your load work ups. What dies are you using.

For loads, look at the Reloading Depot subcategory. I'm using 77gr Nosler CC with 24.7gr Varget with great results. Load to mag length. This is a very hot load, so take necessary precautions. I get about 2620fps out of a 16" barrel and <span style="font-weight: bold">average 5 shot groups</span> of about .75MOA.

I started with Lee dies, but the FL sizing die kept scratching my brass, so I switched to RCBS. I really don't like the RCBS seating die, so now I'm using the RCBS FL sizing die with the Lee seating die.

No crimp is needed or wanted if you have proper neck tension (.003"+).
