So what am I looking for though in the end? Use a chronograph and try and get the bullets as fast as possible without blowing the case/primer/me up? I'm sure even a slow 223 can be accurate to a distance. I've just never done distance. I know at 100 yards my 10" is dead on but is it deadly if only a few ftps cause the barrels so small?
I know any reload I've done and any ammo I've shot doesn't even touch my ar500 plate. But a guy with normal 5.56 FMJ 55gr out of a 20" barrel blasted right through like a knife through butter. I'm hoping this 16" 416 barrel is a little more powerful.

My AR has a 16" SS bull barrel. I normally clover leaf my groups at 100m's. At 500m's, on a good day. I can shoot 2" groups. My buddy can shoot my AR out to 700m's no problem.
I use either the Sierra 69gr Match or the Hornady 68gr Match bullets, with Norma brass, CCI 400 primers. I want to try the Berger 70gr VLD bullets next.
