Just bought a AR10T, Hornaday Custom Dies, Brass and Barnes TTSX 168s. Need some load data to start working up some loads please. Never loaded for ARs so any new info pretaining to ARs Will be appreciated.
I need to buy the powder too. This load is going to be for hunting shots from 150-350. So a good fast accurate load would be great. Hogs and exotics mainly. Some Rland and buffalo at times.

I dont have much to offer as far as loading data, as i haven't started to reload my self yet. the only thing i have to say is WELCOME TO THE GROUP and please don't be a stranger!
oh yeah i would listen to MSH he know his stuff about all this.
sometimes the powder you want can be hard to find and you may need to settle for something else if you don't want to wait. I like the varget, as well. IMR 4895 at 41.5gr pushing a 168 gr bullet seems to group well with my T. It is also a great powder for the 243 I reload. It is recommended you get the small size resizing die when reloading for the AR. Locally, I haven't seen the other powder MSH recommended
I'll jump in here and second the IMR4895. That was the standard back in the day (of the M1A). It's worked fine in the 10' too. I have moved on to F class after the back and eyes (and shoulders and eldows and....) all went to hell.
It's nice just laying on your belley and touching them off through a scoped rifle and have someone else pull your duty in the pits. :laugh:
I now use IMR4350 with the heavy pills and a long barrel, it doesn't do too bad. 180 Bergers and the IMR4350 got me a clean at 1k, 20 rounds. Best of my life and will never do better now.
