Jeez... I don't know all that off-hand! I'll have to go check later... I do know this much: 25.6 gr Varget, CCI 400, 60gr V-max, OAL of 2.300" (trimmed with Lee lockstud and cutter), and Stevens 200 bolt gun. I'll edit this later for OAL.

EDIT: I misremembered my data. Corrected it above!

So far my most accurate AR load is a Sierra 53gr Match HP (#1400), 26.5gr BL-C(2) and CCI 450 magnum primer.
