Gas gun LVR max

[rickt300]

for 120-123 grain bullets. I worked up some loads on a HOWA mini I had but I am sure those were too hot for an AR. Now I am interested in top velocities in an AR.

What barrel length are you using in the AR-15?

[Constitutionalist]

29.5gr of LVR and a CCI 450 probably isn't max but it shoots well with 123gr SSTs and Nosler CCs in my ARs without pressure signs. 2440fps in my 20".

I have heard LVR can be dirty in an AR. Main bullet I will be loading will be the 120 gr. Ballistic Tip which has a longer bearing surface than the match style bullets. Will start a bit low and work up in new brass.

[Zeneffect]

Nah, it's not that dirty.

I've loaded 30.0 grains of LVR under 120 and 123gr bullets no pressure signs...

Going to start at 29.5 and work up .5 at a time. Might end up at 30.0 grains. Gotta be gentle on my brass.

If you want top velocities in an AR look up 85gn or 97gn Hammer bullets, they get faster velocities than most others. Im getting 2800 with the 97gn AH.

I don't really try for top velocities often just a good easy on my cases accurate load, I figure a 120 gr, Ballistic Tip will work just fine at 2500 fps. Even 2400 fps. I do shoot the 90 grain TNT but only because it is a great replacement bullet for the Wolf steel case stuff. That works with the 100 gr. Partition also.
