I ran across some rounds I'd loaded with IMR 4895 and Lapua scenar 155's and they shot incredibly flat - like 8 mils to 900 yards flat out of an 18" bbl AR. Has anyone else done this? Did this wear your barrel out faster than the standard 168/175 loaded like factory? I did not see any pressure signs.
Is this a fool's errand? If I'm looking for flatter should I just go with a 6.5 CM?
Final question: has anyone used the sierra 155's in this role? Asking because they're half the price of the scenar(s).
Thanks
