[QUOTE="veteran, post: 1374834, member: 12919"] Kind of depends on what you're looking to do with it really?.. I've got an AR-10NM with a 1:10 twist 20" barrel and it really likes the heavier MatchKing Sierra BTHP, but is still dead accurate with 150/168gr too... FED 210 or 210NM primers, Lapua/WIN/PMC brass. OAL as far out as you can get it to safely feed through your magazines. For 600yd prone: 43.0 grains of IMR4064 with 175/180gr Sierra BTHP For 200yd off hand: 39.0 grains of IMR4064 - 150gr Sierra BTHP 42.0 grains of IMR4895 - 168gr Sierra BTHP I perfer IMR4064 over IMR4895, but thats just me... Im still trying to dial in a 600 yard prone load with Accurate 2520, its got a nicer recoil to me then the IMR powders, so im considering using 2520 across the board now. It meters a hole lot better for me as well... 44.0 grains Accurate 2520 - 168gr Sierra BTHP is pretty competitve at 600yards... Ive just got some 190gr in and this is really what I was wanting to dail in with the 2520 for a 600yard load, so im hoping to get back out before the weekend to see how these will perform. For places to buy... I just usually watch the major players online for sales and stock up.. lately Ive been catching decent deals at Midway or worse case i can buy the same at Dongs in Tulsa for 2-3 dollars more then what Midway shows...
