I am building a 20" upper out of an Odin works barrel and bolt. (AR DI)
Topping with a SIG Tango6 2-12.
Most shots will be suppressed - not sure that will matter but it's a known variable.
I shoot a bit of competition and use 223/556 as well as 260 REM. (Fairly high volume)
I have copious amounts of military pull down powder for the 223 loads,
and also large amounts of H4350 for my 260 REM.
I haven't seen much data for either but would like to use what I have if realistic and anyone has experience.
I plan to start off with some factory ammo but would like to move to reloading soon. Primary function will be hunting/mid range competition.
I don't plan to use this build for the volume of my others, but you never know...
My questions are;
Is there any reason not to work up a load with pull down powder? ( Like WC844)
Is there a reason not to work up a load for h4350? (I like how temp stable it is)
Is it worth investing in Lapua brass for a mid range gas gun? (That's all I run in my 260REM)
Is sub MOA worth chasing? (My 223 shoot .75 loading on a progressive... I would have to triple my time investment to marginally improve it.)
My barrel is 20" 1in8 twist, Is it worth trying to make my 139grn scenars work in this? Or just stick with 120's? (I have large volume on hand for the REM)
Great spot you guys have here, thanks in advance!
