I am ready to start working up a loads for my AR that has a Rainier Match 18" 1:8 .223 Wylde barrel. I shot some factory ammo through it including V-Max 55 gr, Fusion 62 gr and Winchester Match 69 gr at 100 yards. I got the best groups out the 62 gr Fusion. I am looking to work up a good round for it though. I am looking at Barnes Target 69 gr, Sierra MatchKing 69 and 77 gr. A local guy that is known to be a good shooter recommended moving up to the 70+ gr bullets.
I was wondering if anyone else has experience with this barrel or similar and what bullet worked for you? I will be using Varget.
Thanks!
