I use 26.5 gr of AA2460 in LC cases with Rem 7 1/2 primers. They run right at 3000 fps out of my Colt Comp AR. I only load 5 rounds at a time in the mag as the points get pretty beat up with more than that. Accuracy for the 5 shots is 1 1/4 MOA, decent accuracy but not the best the rifle does.

I thought that the win bullet was 63 grains. I had good results with H4895. About 25 grains if memory serves, but I'd check that out before you blow yourself up. This load was very accurate, but somewhat of a pain to load because of the extruded powder. Kudude

Winchester is 64 gr power point, Sierra is a 63 gr semi-pointed....never weighed either so I donn't know if they are lying.

Both work really well with IMR 4895 too in a 1 in 12" or faster.
