[QUOTE="philipxhuff, post: 1368156, member: 11203"] I think the heavier bullets have less effect from wind. I just ordered my bcg and jars trigger yesterday to finish my bull barrel ar so I don't have any experience loading for it yet but I do load for bolt rifles. I finally decided to spend the extra time to trim and weigh every brass and in my opinion eliminated mysterious flyers. I write the weight of each trimmed brass on the side with a sharpie and lay them in order from lightest to heaviest and shoot them in that order so there isn't any drastic change in case volume. The first time I did it I shot 15 3shot groups without any flyers and feel like I'm waisting bullets if I don't weigh my brass now. With 1 in 9 twist I'd go with 55-65 gn bullet. With my 308 1 in12 twist I tried to get a load with 175gn bullets and couldn't get them under an inch so that made me a believer in shooting bullet weights that are recomended for your twist rate. Anyways idk what I'm gonna load for my ar yet but I'm thinking a bowtail vmax or nosler ballistic tip. There cheap. You can hunt with them too. And they sell them at bass pro. [/QUOTE]
