Well as the owner of a A4 CB...I have tried a few kinds....but depending on "what's in your wallet".... :laugh:
I personally go with the following...168gr.
#1....Hornady TAP
#2....Hornady A-Max
#3....Hornady BTHP
#4....Ultra Max, BTHPs...for plinking and the brass....
Did I mention I like Hornady.... :lol: :dry:
I also use the Federal Power shock...150 Gr. SP...just for Zombies and Milk Jugs..and like to reload the brass....
If Your Rifle is NEW...then, my advice, is to follow the Factory Match Break in to the letter...and you will get good accuracy out to a couple hundred yards...
It is like seasoning a Cast Iron Skillet....done right...you cook anything and make it taste Good...Barrels are the Same in my Humble Opinion...
OOPS...bullets...Oh...OK...Hornady A max or BTHP...sorry my bad...got Excited.. :laugh:

I have been using the Western Powders "TAC" powder with great results.The powder developed and tested for the Military Carbines in the .223 and also the .308 calibers.Rusty Boldt wrote: Ive been using hornady match bthp but gonna try the a max for 2 more dollars ive been imr 3031 what you use for powder would like to try n505 but cant find it anywhere
