I worked up an accurate load for my AR15's and am happy with it. It uses 60gr V-Max bullets and I can get under an inch at 100 yards with them in my more accurate AR's. I don't like to have a lot of recipes so I just make a bunch of these rounds and keep the on hand. Most of my long range precision rifle shooting is done with my .308, but I figure I should have plenty of these ready in case I need them for hunting, SHTF, precision shooting, whatever.
I also have a bunch of steel cased ammo for target practice and drills.
But last year I started shooting a little 3 gun and used those V-Max reloads, because I didn't want to have steel case related malfunctions while on the clock, in front of a bunch of people. My reloads shot great were way more accurate than I needed them to be, but were expensive, and I went through a bunch of them pretty fast.
I'd like to load up a bunch of cheaper stuff for this upcoming summer to shoot. Something FMJ, cheap, and as accurate as I need to be for 3 gun at max distances of maybe 70 yards. I have lots of brass, primers, and Varget, but want to go with a cheaper projectile.
Any suggestions on a cheaper bullet? I can get the V-Max's for about 17.00 per 100. I saw Berrys has some 55gr for about 9.90 per 100. Any other suggestions or input?
