    I’ll have to try that one. I somehow ended up with 3 lbs of IMR-4166 at a cheap price and have been wondering what to try it in first. I’ve got a 20″ x 1:8″ twist RRA upper that ought to do well with that load.

    Velocity/pressure ladder with Alliant 2000MR with Labradar
    16″ barrel AR, CLE type chamber
    LC brass (mixed year)
    COAL 2.255″
    Light crimp, 1/4 turn Lee FCD
    No compressed charges

    Grains/Velocity
    26.8/2782
    27.0/2822
    27.2/2873
    27.4/2873
    27.6/2886
    27.8/2905
    28.0/2927
    28.2/2922
    28.4/2923

    Looks like the velocity flattened out 28.0-28.4. No swipes. Primers all looked fine. Case head measurements were consistant with pre-fired.

    ***Information only, what works in my rifle may not work in yours.***

    Will post some accuracy info after I shoot for groups.

    I see lots of recipes for different barrels, but none for the I’m loading for.

    Anyone have a fav recipe they like for a 16″ 5.56 1:7 twist, chrome lined barrel, with the RMR .224 69gr BTHP?
