I'm looking for some recommendations for some accurate .223 loads for an AR-15 with a 1:9 twist, 16" barrel.

My reloading manual and the data on the Hodgdon site both come from test guns with a 1:12 twist barrel.

I'm just looking for something that will reliably cycle the AR-15 action without abusing it, and be fairly accurate out to 150-200 yards.

Thanks
Dave
