What is the most efficient way to tweek handloads for accuracy? Here are the basics: 1. Once fired LC brass .223, trimmed to 1.75, flash hole uniformed, primer pocket uniformed, cleaned. 2. CCI 450 primers. 3. 24.1 gr of RL-15 4. SMK 77gr fmjbt 5. velocity at 10 feet is 2600+/- I'm barely getting sub-moa at 100 and 200 yards (if I do my part, that is.) I'm hoping to improve that. Any help? Evil prevails when good people don't step up. God grant me strength and courage. | ||

Need more information about what you've previously tried. My first inclination would be to try different powders. If RL15 has given the best results of several, then I'd try a different bullet. I found the Nosler most accurate in my fast twist .223. Then I'd move to adjusting the overall length. LWD | |||

I am using Varget with the 77's but have found with my Ar that a few tenths can make a significant difference in group size. Also, if you can, start shooting at 250-300y as this will amplify the differences. Good luck. C.G.B. | |||

From what I've read RL-15 is slighty faster than Varget. I'm loading 24.1 grs of RL-15 behind the 77's. How much Varget are you using? Also, what is the AR barrel twist? Evil prevails when good people don't step up. God grant me strength and courage. | |||

There are so many ways to do what you ask that it would be better to recommend a few accuracy books like those written by Glenn Newick, Tony Boyer, and etc..etc..etc... If the enemy is in range, so are you. - Infantry manual | |||

CGB, unfortunately I can only get out to 200 yards. But I will focus on shooting more 200 targets than 100. Thanks for the info. Evil prevails when good people don't step up. God grant me strength and courage. | |||

I am using a Noveske upper with 1:7 twist. I don't have my load data here but will try to remember to look it up tonight. C.G.B. | |||
