Loads for AR10
I have a DPMS Oracle LR308 (AR10) and I would like to know what some of you recommend for loads for accuracy. I have a 16" barrel with a 1:10 twist. My best load so far has been 41.5 gr of Varget with a 168gr Sierra BTHP Matchking. (.658" at 100 yards) But our local source for powder hasn't had any Varget for several months.
I read an article in Hodgdon 2014 Annual Reloading Manual about using powders such as Benchmark, IMR 4064, IMR 8208 and CFE 223. But in the article the author was using a 20 inch barrel. His best results with the same bullet was with 41gr Benchmark. (.75") Anybody done any testing with some of these powders in a 16" barrel? Any other data? Any advise is greatly appreciated!
