Thread: Building a service rifle load

G'day,

I've been shooting ADI 62gr at service matches really just plinking coz I love shooting, but the time has come to serious up.

I've managed to grab a Browe Combat Optic 4x32 at a decent price and I want to start shooting and reloading a bullet that'll work.
I shoot Colt M4 LE6920 bog standard with a 1/7 twist 16 inch barrel.

I'm looking for affordable bullet and load ideas 5.56 FNB cases is what I normally load. Happy to go 55gr or whatever, not convinced the 62gr ADI are all that good due to weight and length differences, happy to be told otherwise.

Any crack shot service rifle guys got some good advice? I did grab a packet of Hornady 55gr SP BT off Gunworks for a tryout. I've been using CFE223 powder but just grabbed some ADI 2206H and some H335 for a try too.


Advice appreciated


Cheers

Greenie
