Benchmark powder remington 30 ar full#

( ADI bm 8208 practically replaced the older adi benchmark powder ( imr3031 and hodgdon benchmark.) a older good. 308 in shorter barrelled guns where you want the burn completed just before the bullet exits the barrel giving you the max velocity you can get from a fast burning powder.

223 is more suited for bolt actions shooting Heavy pills like the 75-90 grain in 24-30' barrels, you wouldn't get the full potential of the burn in a short ar barrel.įor 55-69 grain you would be better off using in a AR the likes of 8208 ( adi bm8208 ) that was developed a few years ago for use in. Varget ( adi 2208 ) is a medium burning powder developed mainly for the 308. Comparatively, I'm a fairly low volume reloader and I can't really economize enough to justify ordering online. I prefer to buy powder and primers locally to avoid hazmat fees. Since I can't seem to find #41 locally, are #400 really that bad of a choice? I realize there is maybe a slight increase in the chance of a slam fire, but what are the realistic chances? Is anyone using CCI #400? What has been your experience. Anyone using it with my combination of bullet and barrel length? Has it worked well for you?įor primers, I'm inclined to just use CCI #400 SRP, but seems like a lot of loaders opt for the CCI #41. Based on internet wisdom, this seems to be a better choice and should meter well too.

and IMR 3031, I'm thinking of going with 8208 XBR instead if I can find any. I decided to go with some 69 gr SMK and some 65 gr SGK.Īlthough I currently have several powders on hand that might work, IMR4895, Varget, H335. I've been following the various 223 thread but would like to drill down to the primer and powder choices for a 16' AR 1:8.
