Re: Loading 204 for ar 15

I loaded imr 4895 and also 10x Both powders though different did very very well. I started with 4895 as I use it in my 308 and 22-250. The a trip to my local shop revealed 10x is very good in the 20s. Conclusion he was correct!

Re: A New 20 cal round

The local shop that showed me this 20 x 47 shoots 55 g bergers out of a 1 in 10 twist Lija. He says it is amazingly accurate.shoots 40 grain bergers out to 600 and 55s to 1000 yrds? Im still pondering myself. I need a rem 700 action.
