What is your favorite powder to load 5.56?
I'm thinking of trying this combination. What powder load do you use?I used W748 with a 60 grain bullet, shoots great and meters good. I also like both H322 & H335, as they meter good. Nice thing about the XCR is it IS NOT finicky about powders like the AR platform. :![]()
I am planning to load some 77gr for my Noveske, and ofcourse I love Sierra Matchking more than any other so I am going to try this recipe.21.8 grains of H322 under a 77 grain Sierra MatchKing, giving just under 0.5" groups out if a Tikka. Sub MOA from an Ar15 with a Timney Trigger and a 16" Lothar Walther Barrel. Just over MOA from the XCR with a light 16" barrel.
