I am a bolt and single shot guy, but just had to get an AR style rifle. I loved shooting the M-16 and new a good heavy barreled AR would shoot good enough out to 300 yards.
I am going to shoot some factory ammo through it in different bullet weights to get an idea of what it likes, but I want to develop a good all around predator/varmint/target load. I am not really worried about hides, just accuracy and reliability. I definitely want to shoot a varmint bullet, but am wondering what cycles good through the action. Do the plastic tips have any problems in the ARs? I am thinking of starting with a 60 grain V-max, since I have had great luck with them in other guns. I am also a big fan of sierras for reloading. There cost would be good for the auto too. I will probably use H-4895 or Varget since I have lots of both. Any suggestions on bullets and or loads would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
