Anyone done any 100yd+ accuracy testing with factory or handloads using this bullet in an AR?

This should go in the Ammo forum.

Has to be Q3313. XM556FBIT3 is The Speer 62gr TBBC.

Ah, that's right. If I remember correctly Nosler makes the 64gr bullet so I'd expect it to be accurate. Then again I may just be biased by the fact that Nosler is near where I grew up.

I tend to agree. Nosler's rep for accuracy is well earned.

Thanks for the responses. I'll post my results when I get time to accuracy test the load I have worked up.

Looking forward to your results. I bought some based on my experience with other Nosler bullets' accuracy. But I have several other test loads to try before I get around to the 64 gr BSP. Could be a great all-around premium bullet for hunting and defense. They were a bit cheaper in volume than the Barnes 62 gr TSX and should be able to be loaded a bit faster. The TSX sets a high bar though!

Nosler 64 bsb runs best at 2800-3000fps. 2900 seems to be the sweet spot.
Accuracy is great compared to the win ranger load with the same bullet. Im getting 1.5 - 2.0 inch groups with a max charge of cfe223. They are usually right at 1.5 inches.
These run 2850-2960 depending on barrel length. At these speeds they should expand out to 350 yards. I recently picked up 1000 62 tbbc pulls. If they do not have similar accuracy I will sell them and just get more of the 64 bsb's

Sounds like I am on the right track. I am using 64gr BSB with 25gr TAC and CCI41 primer. I get 2830 AVG and 16 SD from 16" DD light barrel. Ten shot groups at 25yds are about 3/4". Now the snow is gone I should be able to test at 100yds soon.
