aedavis Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I shoot Hornady 55gr SPs over BLC2 powder, with a Rem 6.5 primer in my 16" Colt HBAR - I get consistent MOA groups when benching this load. I use either LC or Rem brass. It isn't the cheapest option (you can get FMJ for slightly cheaper), but I like the performance. I buy the bullets at www.grafs.com and buy the powder (in 8 lb jugs) and primers locally at Sportsmans Warehouse. The cost to load 1000 of them is $163 (not including brass - I have a lot).
