Factory 55 gr Nosler BT loads in AR

[magothy1]

I shot some Federal factory loads today, 55 gr NBT, they did real well. Any ideas how to reload to duplicate those ? I got the OAL and length to ogive. Didn't have a chrony, way too hot and humid to mess with that.

Get the velocity and try to match it

Keep in mind that the ammunition manufactures have access to powders that are not available to the public.
As already mentioned, clock the factory loads and try to duplicate the speed.

It should not be too hard to duplicate the accuracy because the 55 BT is just a down right accurate bullet. There are a number of powders that should get you what you want. AA2230, RL7, H335, ARComp, WW748 are just a few.

Thanks for all that, I'll set up the chrony and go from there.

CFE-223 would be one I'd try for sure.
