    Not for me; I mostly reload 55 SMKs on top of 27 gn. of BL-C(2). If I shoot past 300 yards, I'll use a 62 gn projectile. My barrel is a 1:9 twist.

      Nope. I tune a load for the barrel not the distance.
      I load a 75 gr Hornady HPBT with 24.1 grains of RE-15.
      I get a submoa group out of a 16" Noveske Barrel at 100 and I'm hitting a 12" steel plate at 400 yards no problem.

        I use Hornady or Sierra 69gn bt bullets. at 100 yards 6 shots in one ragged hole, at 200 yards a quarter covers the holes with room to spare. (Savage Axis 223 rifle)

        I also use Hornady Zmax 50gn bt, but my pattern is just a little bit larger.

            I hardly ever shoot the AR less than 200 yards. So no, I don't have a different load for 100 yards.

            But If I were to shoot a short range 100 yard reduced course regularly, I might just shoot 52/55gr BTHP to save money as opposed to my standard 77gr 200 and 300 yard load.

              Nope, same load for all distances
              25.5 of Varget for the 40 grainers and
              25.7 8208XBR for the 53 and 55 grainers

                Never stick with the same load or brand.

                  thanks for the reply. last week got to test my load on 200 yard and not getting moa that i expect. tested my load on 100 yard and getting sub moa using 52 grain bullets. notice almost all of you been using heavy grain bullet.
