Accurate Bullets for a AR15 Bull barrel

[Ganderite]

I am installing a 1:8 20" bull barrel on an Ar-15 and will shoot FClass with it - just for the giggles.

I reckon it should be fun for the short range stuff - say to 600 yards. Then I will switch to my 6.5-08 Ackley.

We must single load , by the match rules, so bullet weight and OAL is not an issue. I have Sierra 80 and 77 Match Kings on hand and some Hornady 75 HPBT match.

I notice Nosler is advertising a 75 gr match bullet. Anyone have any experience with it?

Neck turn your brass and go for Berger.

I should speak to them, I guess. they send me 30 cal bullets to try, but never any 224s.

I am concerned about the fact that a 20" does not get the velocity my 32" gets, so the lower RPM may not stabilize the longer bullets.

They are longer but the bearing surface is pretty slim, no?
