I know a few people on this forum reload for the black gun, so I have two short questions for you:
1) What do you use for bullets? I was planning to use 69 gr HPBT, but is it a good choice for a short 16" barrel with a twist rate of 1 in 9?
2) Am I too optimistic in thinking to eventually use the 650B machine to reload the 223 cartridge?

My favorite load is a 55 gr FMG pushed by 26 grs. of WW748. Been my go to load for years.
