Mini 14 reload recipes

[frysl]

I've started in on reloading for my Mini 14. Anyone have any favorite 55gr or 62gr recipes they'd care to share? I'm primarily interested in nice tight groups at 100 yds.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum and understand you should always start lower (powder wise) than anyone recommendations/suggests. That is what reloading manuals are for. Remember, no two firearm are alike.
My Min-14 likes the following recipe:
Winchester brass, Rem 7-1/2 benchrest primers, Benchmark powder, seating depth of 2.265", Nosler HPBT 69 grain bullets. 2970fps
With that I am able to get 1moa.
My mini's receiver and barrel has been cryogenically treated and I shimmed the action to the stock (have not bothered to bed the action since 1 moa is satisfactory.

I use 748 powder and have had good luck.....agree with above op.... start loads on lighter side and work up from there...

You might want a different gun.

You might not want to limit your bullet selection. Try super light to super heavy along with several bullet profiles. You might be THE ONE to discover the magical load???
