Nothing makes my barrel sing like IMR-4895 & 75's. 20" DPMS DCM 1/8 barrel on self-built NM service rifle. NOT freefloated.
1xLC09, primer pocket cleaned & de-crimped, fl sized, trimmed to 1.750", chamfered & deburred
CCI400 primer, primed on press
23.0 IMR-4895, thrown & checked every 10
75gr.Hornady BTHP, 2.250" OAL, medium crimp w/Lee Factory. 2650fps.
This load will shoot one hole @ 100yds, hit the 600 yd 12"x12" steel every time if I get the wind correct, and break clays @ 1000 after I get dialed in. Found node originally at 25.5, but it was a bit hot in winter, so I backed it off.
