Ok, I haven't touched this AR 17 TAC since last fall. We had a 60 degree day today and I hit the corn field. Shot about 50 rounds with no FTF or FTE. I'm using Dakota 20 TAC brass necked down to 17 and had better results today.
Gere are a few targets and I'll post my thoughts at the bottom.
Using Varget and shooting 25 gr. bullets. Terrible results...
Using RL-15 and 30 gr. Bergers. Much better results as I was creeping up in the size load.
Best group of the day. at .409" for a 5 shot group.
My thoughts are the following:
- My upper likes RL-15 much better
- My upper likes BR4 primers
- 30 gr. bullets are where it's at.
I'm getting closer to getting this bad boy dialed in but the real challenge is acquiring 17 cal. 30 gr. bullets. To my knowledge. Todd Kindler at woodchuckden.com is the only one that makes them at this time. 60 degrees today and we have a foot of snow coming tomorrow. Boooo!
More to follow... Critters will get hammered with this rig when I get done!
