i usually load 308 win, but have decided to start reloading for a ar-15.
barrel lengths are 20", 16", 12-3/4"
i am using lee deluxe steel dies 4 die set w/ hornady lock rings.
i have 3000 win nt cases. all prepped and full length size to factory lengths.
hornady 55 grain fmj bullets.
standard cci primers for 223.
powders i have read to use varget and h335, but i would prefer to use varget because it is a little bit cheaper.
what grains should i start out with for this?
i know to keep it within the limits of what the books say.
i also have 11 lbs of imr-4895 will this work in a ar-15 for 223?
but i am trying to get a better picture of what work reliably in a gas system auto.
