New to .223 in AR15 loads
Looking for recommended .223 powder(s), primer(s), bullet(s), die set (RCBS), C.O.L., crimp/no crimp, etc. used in an AR platform. Any little helpful hints from your experiences will be helpful. Mostly plinking but also to take down small critters up to Yotes.
I've already noticed in my searches that there is a difference in .223 data depending on shooting in AR platform vs bolt.
I'm faily new to reloading, but very confident in my skills.

Way too much info on that subject for me to type out here.
There are several good sites that specialize in varmit hunting and .223 rifles, I suggest you check them out and digest the info there.

I have only ever loaded heavy bullets(63-77gr) in my AR15s and have only used slower powders such as Varget and BL-C(2). Varget and the 69gr Sierra Match King is tops in accuracy in one of my ARs. For general plinking with 63gr -77gr bullets I like BL-C(2) for it's easy metering. It's also a very accurate with everything I have loaded with it.
