I use either the Sierra 69gr Match or the Hornady 68gr Match bullets, with Norma brass, CCI 400 primers. I want to try the Berger 70gr VLD bullets next.
But what are you looking for with your reloads? Just accuracy or speed also as you test so you know it's not only on point but can also knock something down.

I went through all the protocols, 1 shot, clean it, for 20 rounds. Took forever. Then 3 shots clean it for 20 rounds. And then I put it away. Most accurate rifle I've ever fired but what the heck do I need with a $1300 dollar .223 rifle in mini-14? The owner has passed away and I bet they went out of business. Cool guy too. Talked to him before he died. Anyone know in this current climate is it worth trying to sell or just keep?
I'd only sell a gun if I needed money asap. Or maybe upgrade.

Speed and accuracy kind of go hand in hand up to a point. Then you start to over-drive the bullet. Work you reloads up in .5gr increases. Load 10 up at what you think is the lowest amount of powder. Then load 10 more at .5 gr increase and so on up to the max load. Start shooting each load and take notes on the group size. You should notice the groups getting smaller. Once the groups start to open up. you know you have found the load for the rifle, brass, powder, bullet and primer. Change any one of those, and you will have to start over. Also keep an eye out for over-pressure. It helps if you have a chrono to measure your bullet velocity. Once you know your velocity. You can look up in your ballistic tables to see at what yardage the bullet goes sub-sonic. At that point, most bullets become unstable. A .22 cal with a BC of .305, and a velocity of 2,900 should be stable out to 700~800 yards. Another thing too. Is barrel break-in. You got to shoot about 200+ rounds through it before getting down to brass-tacks. If you can't put it on target, forget killin' it.

You punching paper, or killin' something?

If you want to knock something down on a regular basic. Get something bigger. A AR chambered for a .243 with a Hornady 105gr A-Max. Has a BC of .500. which is better then any .22 cal bullet.

Beautiful piece! I'm a fan of the A-frame front sight, but it is what it is.

All done! First build complete... Got a proper mag, it's sighted in with some old reloads and shooting sub MOA. It was 6" low and 5" right and the scope worked perfect with 1/4" clicks. I hit bullseye first shot after 1 adjustment. Only complaint is it's got a good amount of recoil and take down is still tight! I youtubed best breaks and a guy did a sled test on 30 different front end devices. The A2 flash hider and bare muzzle for example slid back over 9 inches. The best break was precision armament that only slid back 2.35"! I'll be getting one soon!

Break down...
HM defense upper $640
416 triple hone 16" barrel
14" hand guard
Nib BCG
Flash hider
Charging handle
Upper
Mid gas tube and block

Spikes tactical lower $110
Magpul stock $60
Magpul grip $23
Magpul aluminium trigger guard $19
Magpul 20 round mag $13
POA precision single stage trigger $149
Cmmg lower kit $35
Tapco mil spec buffer kit $43
UTG 3-12x44 36 color scope and rings $122
UTG super duty bipod $32

Total $1246 for a $2000+ gun.

If you think the AR15 has too much recoil. You got a soft shoulder.

Use a mercury tube in the stock. It will take most of the recoil out.
