[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5775045, member: 3052"] I'm going to bump this up as I'm interested also. As DaveB said, it's my understanding barrel length and twist play the biggest part. Is it an AR? My AR is a M&P15T with a 16" barrel and a 1/9 twist. Some articles I have seen say 55 is a good weight. Others say the 68/69 is a better weight for that twist rate. I have not yet reloaded .223/5.56. I don't need a hunting round, I want to load up a bunch of FMJ range ammo as cheap as I can. It appears that all the cheap bullets are 55 grain. The heavier, not as common, don't appear to be as plentiful and cost a lot more. I assume this is simply supply/demand. [/QUOTE]
