I had a very pleasant suprise with my new AR. Thanks to some low life that broke into our house, I had my previous Match grade AR stolen. The match grade Armalites were out of stock so I settled on a plain flattop model with a 20 Hbar. The rifle was listed as 1.5 to 2 MOA, ok for my primary coyote rifle that I carry on the tractor all winter. I mounted a fixed 4X Meopta scope. Ideal for coyotes on the move, only the dumb ones hang around after the tractor stops. I have a good supply of 60 grain ballistic tips, Winchester case, Reloader 15 25.5 grains, either winchester or Federal small rifle primers.

Once on the paper I shot my first group three shot 100 yard group at just under .7". About fell over I made the scope adjustments to zero it in and shot two more to make sure the adjustment were correct. Wish I had fired three. At first I could find the 2nd hole but upon carefull study I realized that both rounds were in one not so ragged hole and the hole was were it was supose to be.

Both of my AR love the 60 grain ballistic tips-old AR shot them better than the 69 grain match bullets. Also both liked Reloader 15, Not planning to look for another load anytime soon.

I know that some AR's can be persnickity you might try this load.
 
That sounds like a great load in an AR! That is another I will have to put in the storage bin for future load work on my buddies AR. Scotty
