I got hold of some 147gr supersonic and 200 gr subsonic S&B's. They work very well and it is really great that they print in the same vertical line unlike some of the other Subs that print right and low. The other great thing is that the 147 S&B's print where the 143gr PMP bullet reloads print.

Have you by any chance tried to use Frontier 110gr CMJ's for a cheap plinking load

Yes I have tried them.
Reasonable accuracy of 1.5 MOA -2 MOA.
AAC 12.5” rifle.
Hasn’t tried it yet in my RAA.
Blackout barrels would last significantly longer compared to 5.56/223 win.

Are those the Round Nose ones designed for .30 Carbine?

I also have an AAC 12.5” upper and I’ve trued a number of loads but my grouping goes from bad to extremely poor, do you mind sharing your load for me to play with.

I would be keen on hearing the recipe, seems like a cheap way to load some rounds cheaply for general shooting / plinking, but I've also read of accuracy issues as Armed Preacher has said.
