I'm shooting a 16" AR-15 with a 1-9 twist barrel. The boolits I'm casting are 55 grains, gas checked.
Reading around a bunch, I'm finding the amount of opinions around about which powders will and won't work to be quite overwhelming.
I understand I want enough pressure to reliably cycle my action, but a fairly light load to get me into the 1800 fps range for optimal accuracy since I'm using quenched WW alloy and powder coating.
My goal is to get practice rounds that are very accurate, can be cranked out quickly and inexpensively, and don't require special stuff like Dacron filler which would slow me down significantly to load. I don't care about hitting certain benchmarks for velocity or ballistics, I just want to cycle reliably and punch paper accurately out to about 200 yards max. When I want to shoot further than that, I'll go for a heavier projectile.
Anyone who is successfully running cast through their AR have recommendations on powder?
