Big Browns Report post Posted March 1, 2013 My dad recently bought a S&W AR-15. I loaded him a few different loads with Sierra's and Hornady 52-55 grain with 24.5-25.5 of winchester 748. So far none of these loads have performed well at 50-100 yards. I was wondering if any of you guys have had any luck working loads for this gun. It's a 1-8 twist. Any suggestions. I'm planning on trying some 69 grain sierra's this weekend. The same loads shoot 1/2 moa out of my DPMS. Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted March 1, 2013 I have had awesome results with 24.5 grains of H335 pushing 55 grain Hornady V-max. But, I also have a custom made barrel that they are being shot through which is also a big contributor. Not the same gun as yours, but may be worth a try. I have never tried it myself but my gunsmith swears by R17 and R19 for a .223 load. He claims it shoots fast, clean, and deadly accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted March 1, 2013 I have also had really good luck with 24.5 grains of H335 with a V-Max. I'm going to try that same load this weekend in my dad's gun. I have a feeling that his gun is going to like heavier bullets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STOMP442 Report post Posted March 6, 2013 Mine really like 24.5 grains of 4064 and a 52 grain berger. 3 shots you could cover with your thumb nail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
