Best .223/5.56 for the M-4

[Joe in PNG]

And now that I've got a nice little Colt 6920 awaiting me back in the USA*, I was wondering what the best load for the typical Colt 1 in 7 twist? HD and target, of course!



*Thanks everyone for saving me from doing something stupid like buying a DPMaster)...

For blasting I recommend PMC or Privi, either 55 or 62 gr doesn't really matter.

For HD those will do in a pinch but Hornady 75 gr OTM, Nosler 77 gr OTM, or Sierra 77 gr SMK OTM are better choices - thank you DocGKR.

www.wideners.com has IMI 55 and 62 FMJ loads on sale in individual boxes as well as case lots.

Congrats on your new Colt.
