First reloading results for ar 15

I was doing some load work up for my ar 15 with some 60 grain v-max bullets and also loaded a few 77 grain SMK. I was H335 as that is the only powder I have right now. These were shot at 50 yards with a BSA red dot sight. The rifle is built with an aero precision upper and lower with a 20" criterion barrel with a little bastard muzzle brake from American Precision Arms. The first group is my SMK bullets over a 22 grain charge of H335. I am planning on running a full load work up for it. The second group is my 60 grain V-max over 24 grains of H335. Not sure exactly what was up with the two flyers but the other three were just over 1 MOA. The third group is 10 shots of some Independence 55 grain fmj factory ammo. This group came in at over 5 MOA. This is all I have gotten done so far and I still need to do some work but I think this rifle has great potential especially if I get some good glass on it. I know H335 is probably not a great powder for the 77 grain SMK but it is all I have and I have no local source for powder so I have to order it. But what would be a good powder for those bullets?

I use Power Pro 2000-MR for my 75 to 80gr loads. Others use Reloader 15, TAC, or IMR4064. Anything in that burn range should be fine for accuracy, including Varget and H4895.

Remember accuracy isn't really related to velocity, so in your load work up just stop when you get to acceptable accuracy.
