5.56.
I regularly shoot my AR's out to 450 yds. If one of the local F&G clubs gets what they're planning done, I'll be able to shoot 5.56 out to 600, and shoot my grendel out to 1K.
I'm a big fan of equipping for the mission at hand. 55gr rounds are great for training. But, having just gotten into handloading, I want to figure out with as few variations as possible what the best loadings are going to be for:
A.) work on soft targets from 0-400 yds out of 1/9 16" barrels.
B.) work on soft targets out to 600 with maximum "oomph" and precision out of 1/8.5 20" douglas barrel.
The grendel is a whole nother animal. 140gn AMAX projos for work under 500yds, 123gn AMAX for work over 500.
