Picked up some of these online, but can't find load data on hogdon's website, or my Lee manual. Using H335 probably. shooting them out of a 16" AR
Thanks

If you use the 69 grain data at the link below, you will be good. The Hornady 68 and Sierra 69 are almost identical bullets. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle

Hope that you have better results with H335 and heavy bullets than I did. 2 MOA was about the best I could do with the 69gr SMKs. H335 may be a little fast for the heavier bullets - it works great on the 55s. I switched to RL-15 for the 69gr and my groups shrunk to 1/2 MOA. Good luck!

Try some AR Comp or IMR 8208 xbr too.
Alliant describes is as being ideal for heavy .224 and .308 match bullets.
