| Was trying to find reloading info on the but it seems to scarce. If I load it using the usual 22.8gr I use for 62gr of IMR 4064. It seems to compress the powder as it is a longer bullet. Any ideas on where to find accurate data for this bullet? |

Any ideas on where to find accurate data for this bullet? Welcome to the Reloading forum and Arfcom.  I don't think you meant 62 grs of IMR-4064, think you meant the amount of IMR-4064 used for a 62 gr bullet. The M856 tracers are long for their weight, so you can't use a slow burning powder like IMR-4064. The case is too small for the powder charge to fit. Select a faster burning powder, begin loading at the "start" load for a 62-63 gr bullet and work up carefully watching for pressure signs. Powders; try H-335, AA-2230, Tac, or W-748. Ball powders that measure easy and will leave room in the case for your bullet. Hope you can find some, sorry IMR-4064 just isn't suitable. |
