Rmr bullets

[iukamedic]

Wandering if anyone had used the 69 and or the 75 with tac or varget. Preferable experience with a white oak or Odin works barrel. They are relatively cheaper than smk.

There's several service rifle competitors who are having good luck with both.
I'm using the 69 grain ones in a 24" 'match rifle' - they go into 1/2 MOA groups with 25.3gr Shooter World Match.

What barrel?

What barrel?

It's WOA's 24" optic match barrel.

I shot 1100 of them in a Savage Model 10 over the past couple years. My savage Model 11 doesn't like them one bit.

It depends on what you are looking for. I bought the 69 3GH because they were cheap at the time, $140/k, intended use was a budget target bullet to feed my AR. They do that well enough.

Out of my 24" Krieger, I get groups anywhere from .25-.90, 5 shots. Playing with powder charges and seating depths has not improved the consistency. Some say to seat them deep ~ 2.240, in a 223, but I have found better groups at 2.26"

24 grains of TAC on the top left, then loads with 24.3 and 24.6 grains.

They are definitely not as accurate as 69 gr SMKs. However, I have found that by seating them to 2.230, they work OK for an AR.

That’s what I’m wanting to use them for. Cheaper service rifle practice.

I’ve gotten tac to work with a few different things. Works good in a Dillon. Thanks for the reply.

69RMR and 24gr of TAC loaded to 2.250 works for me. I also use this for a XTC practice load. It will clean a reduced target if I can break the shots in the center.

I have not but I have read some good reports. I don't think that 52gr spears, 60gr Vmaxs or 69RMRs have held me back at reduced matches with H335, Benchmark or TAC. I'm using 77smks and 80ELD at full distance matches with RL-15 or H4895. Id be happy with H4895 for everything but I'm almost out and its nowhere to be found. I'm only fussing with the other loads to shoot / practice more and use available and powder for the same amount of cash

I use the RMR's for 200/300 practice and matches. Slung up, I can't tell the difference between RMR and Sierra/Berger.

ETA. I'm seeing some results with the RMR 69's that are over 1" at 100 yards. I'm doing some more testing with them, but am about to change what I use in matches.
