Thanks

I have read BabaOrielys' 50gr Berger load testing in this forum. I agree it is some good info, I should have mentioned that my barrel has a 1 in 12" twist. I belive the 50g Berger need a faster twist than I have.
Thanks for the info, keep it coming.

I have a 204 R15 with 22 barrel. I only have cheap 4X scope and have only shot it once with a box of factory ammo and a second time with a few reloads.
I used 32gr Nosler BT 28gr Varget Fed205M primer Rem brass with Hornady FL 204 die. Had a RCBS FL 204 die but returned it as I couldn't seat the bullet to COL without getting into the crimp. The Hornady die is 'more better'.
Had no problem cycling or feeding so at this point in time I don't need small base die.
Now that I know the load works with the R15 I can start dialing in the scope.
So far the only thing I don't like about the R15 is the spring noise from the spring in the stock. I will try a piston in place of the spring at some point in time.

Welcome to the world of AR-15s . That's just what they do, and I don't think anyone's "fixed" that yet, and I can't conceive how anyone would do so, and still keep them reliable.

A drop-in replacement for standard buffers - with units designed for either rifles or carbines. This rugged "shock absorber" will add reliability to your AR, reduce felt recoil, improve accuracy and protect your optics from excessive shock. For Full Auto guns, they'll bring firing rate down to a very manageable level, and smooth out the functioning of the gun. Bushmaster installs them in our short barreled Full Auto models. Quality alloy steels with a black oxide finish; action rod is nickel plated for smooth operation. Rear "bumper" is molded black polyurethane.
Options: Carbines or Rifles
The new STAG 3L doesn't make a "twang" noise. It does have the collapsible stock though.
