[biglou13]

I've got book data but looking to see if any one has pet loads......

( yes I'll work up slowly / cautiously)

1/7 Wylde 18 inch

1/8 Wylde. 16 inch

I have 55 grain. 62 and 75's I'm working up

I've got limited time at 100 and 100+. Yards to ladder/ ocw next week.

Any nodes you've found and or pet loads appreciated

I'll ocassionally shoot 800y

Try 77 gr Nosler CC HPBT over 22.5 gr IMR 8208 xbr (adjust for velocity ~ 2600 fps)

Extremely accurate to 200 yards out of an 18" BHW barrel. May be good further out but that is maximum range I have access to.

I love that powder. 23.9gr under 55gr Horn FMJBT with a CCI primer, Lee crimp die @2967 fps out of 16" Not the fastest, but will hold 1/2" out of my AR all day long.

77gr TMKs at mag length 23.1 gr 8208 shoot pretty decent.

can you load the 77 tmk to AR mag length???

can you load the 77 tmk to AR mag length???

Just barely. I use Lancer mags and I load them to within a hair of max length for the mag.

They use the same load data as the 77 SMK. I prefer IMR 8208 XBR, but I think CFE 223 might get you there as well.
