    Still working on 5.56x45mm.
    Using 75gr Speer TMJ.
    I ran out of 8208XBR so starting on Winchester 748 and working up to find a good accurate load with it.

    I love reloading its a great hobby.

    When I started reloading I was using, what I now know was a picky barrel, a Ballistic Advantage Premium 18” on an AR. Once I got a White Oak 18” to replace that barrel, I realized my months of reloading frustration shouldn’t have been that hard. Also have a 16” Rainier Arms Select that shoots a wide variety of loads well. Long story short, with a few different barrels I’ve found this recipe to be pretty consistent, a bit slower than I’d like (~2650 fps) as people said 23.3-23.6 gr works great for more of an MK262 clone, but I started to show pressure signs in that range on a couple barrels with the same or worse accuracy, so decided not to push it. I’m by no means an expert Reloader, but usually see .6-.9 MOA with this load out of the above two barrels.

    On a related note. If you are a reloader and have the alcohol lanolin case lube spray bottle, you can use it to recondition leather work gloves.

    I had some that got wet and got dry and crunchy. I put them on and sprayed them down with the case lube spray. Worked like a charm. They are now as soft and supple as @printcraft 's butt. :lmfao:
