I want to thank everyone for their help with all my questions. I finally got out today after gutting my kitchen and checking trail cameras
Now this is a brand new barrel so I've been cleaning it spotless between shooting sessions. I now have about 40 rounds down the tube.

This is my.first group with a spotless bore. I shot one fowler than let the barrel cool down completely. Then shot 5 rounds. The top hole that says no crimp was one I played around with and the bullet actually slid down into the case until the powder stopped it. I plan on loading up 10 more to try before I settle on the load

I also have a factory 20" rifle that I've been shooting factory ammo to make my brass. I just sighted in a new scope on it today. It shoots very well also

Thanks,

Yes I'm going to load 10 more up tonight and shoot 5 at 100 yards and if they duplicate that I'll jump to 200. Get my drops the. Knock out 150 rounds on the bench

This is the AR 20" right? Made by Bushmaster. With the 1:24" twist right?

The top picture is a 17.5" (18" with threads cut off) Black Hole Weaponry built with a 1;18 twist. The second picture is a factory 20" Bushy.

Stopped by my range in the farm after deer hunting yesterday to shoot the same load to verify it. I put 5 shots in a half moon group just at 1" good enough for this deer season. I had 2 jugs of LIlGun show up in the mail to try this winter
