Good evening all. I've been working (or trying to anyway) on some 223/5.56 loads with Ramshot's X-Terminator powder. I have been trying it mostly for 62 grain projos and heavier through mostly 16-18" barreled AR's with twist rates typically considered acceptable for the weight / length bullet I'm using.
Unfortunately I've yet to find a sub 1" group at 100 yards with any of the bullet/rifle combinations I've tried. I'm not a bullseye shooter, but I can (if I focus) get groups under 1" pretty consistently with these rifles and other powder/bullet combos.
Has anyone else had issues finding a good charge/bullet combo with X-Terminator? Has anyone found it's a particular powder?
I did find some comments on the web that XT seems to do better with light(er) bullets (than I'm using anyway) so I'm finally trying some 55 grain bullets that I intended to sell. Hopefully I'll get to test 25-50 of them this weekend and see if that's the case for my rifles.
Thanks for the discussion and assistance.
