Thread: Load determination / Handloading for my AR15

Interesting thanks for that, I was hoping ppl would comment/feedback. The horizontal spread of the FMJs isnt bad while the vertical is, suggesting a non-projectile issue.

I have loaded 10 random weights, 10 cherry picked weights (61.8 to 62.2gr) and I will load 5 bottom and 5 top weights and see if the weight matters. If not it saves hand weighing them.

I will also buy some more ready made FMJs and pull the projectiles and weight the charges to see if they are wide.

Also I use the Barnaul .311s in my Enfields and they do <2 MOA which is on par with the Mk VII.

As an aside do the sp spread well?

The Barnaul FMJ lacks a canalure and being a steel jacket I wonder if it will fragment at all.

Considering they are all 62gr FMJs they differ a lot. The ADI seems the longest and seats well down into the case, it may even be compressing the load at 23.6gr of 2208, I will have to be careful.

ADI top, barnaul middle and Amscor bottom.
