View Thread : 107 Sierras and Benchmark loads?


Spence
From what I've read so far, seems that Benchmark should be used with 100g and lighter bullets.... But does anyone have a proven load for this combo in an AR since I have both components on hand? Thanks.

I've only used Benchmark in the 95 and 100 grain loads. I LOVE TAC with that bullet though!

I go small cloverleafs at 100 with TAC, but I can't remember my load since I'm at work.

I was shooting these for test loads:

107gr. SMK
28.0gr. Benchmark
CCI #450 Primer
Lapua Brass
2.255" OAL

they were holding just under 1" @ 100yrds and 3 out of the 4 groups 2 bullets went in the same hole. I may try to load a little hotter to see what they do then.

I saw this post and decided to try one more powder.... to get rid of these 107gr sierra. Tried a little hotter but, no go,28 or 28.1 is the ticket....Thanks
