Hey group. Recently got int the 50. Just a fun plinker for me. But it’s pretty hard to find load data. I’ve got the stuff from Alexander arms, Hornady and some online searches.
Who loads for it? What bullets and powder do you you use? And what charge?
I’m shooting 275gr gold dots at 42gr of Alliant 2400 and the same with 40gr lilgun. Also I started some 350gr deep curls loaded with 35gr lil gun.
 
All I've ever loaded was the 335gr Rainer plated flat point and the HP version using 37.0 grs of Lil'Gun powder.

Gives me the advertised 1900 FPS.

Never tried any other loads.

Thanks.
I’ve seen a couple people using them bullets. You know they’re discontinued now? What length barrel are you running? Mines a 12.5” sbr
 
Seems my Lyman AR-15 loading manual has some data for that cartridge?

If it does, and when i have time i will post a pic it that seems reasonable.
