Cloning the 556FBIT3 round
Anybody ever had success doing this? Awhile back I ran across some of the original 62gr TBBC bullets and bought 500 of them and now am getting ready to buy more from this same guy. He says they're new and I cant find any marks indicating such, nor is there and sealant.. They're clean and even the tips are in ok shape. By all accounts they're fine bullets.
I'd like to load up some SD type rounds to replicate the FBIT rounds in both performance and purpose, not loading for winning any matches or trophies for the smallest groups. I've got a boatload of LC brass prepped, ready to prime and load. Many thousands of CCI 41 primers. The powders I physically have on hand are WC844 (8lbs), 8208xbr, varget, vihtivouri n530, Acc2520. I'm currently out of my favorite ARComp, something I hope to remedy soon.
Hard to find any loading data out there for this ammo.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not an old salt at reloading but not a total newb either.
