    Are you sure you don't mean h335? That would work like a charm.
    Yeah, that.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    Using surplus 5.56 brass, I'd start at 22gr and not go past 24 without reading the brass very carefully.

    23gr will get you about 2850FPS out of a 16" tube, so this is definitely Rumbler load territory.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
