Recently picked up a custom AR-10 in 22 Creedmoor from DNA Firearm Systems in NC. 22" Proof carbon barrel and running a Diligent Defense Enticer LTI with 5.56/6mm end cap. Sounds great and very soft shooting with factory Hornady 69 grain ELD-VT ammo. Only an initial 20 rounds down the barrel for sight in before starting load development for coyote/hog hunting and was curious if anyone had any good handloads for something similar. I have Pederson SRP brass, CCI 450 primers, Hornady 62 grain ELD-VT and 69 grain ELD-VT bullets, Varget and H4350 powder.

34gr bullets screaming at 4900 FPS is explosive on pelts. FYI don't use lead bullets if testing these light weighters, they will literally shed apart in mid-air. My barrel likes bullets in the 75gr range at 3500-3600FPS range. The 4350 powders are great but typically shoot around 3300-3400 but can't seem to find any H4350 or IMR4350 to do further development. Alli RL 16 (another impossible find) is also great but saving that powder for another already developed load. Ram Shot Hunter did better with the lighter 50-60gr range bullet but in the 75gr range they found pressure fast and not that accurate. But each barrel has its own personality so good luck.
