AR15 load help

I have lots of LC 5.56 brass and 62GR bullets.

Anyone know a load to match the issue rounds?

I have a decent amount of Varget and RL15 powders but I'm open to other powders.

Thanks
Gerry

Honestly each of my AR's like a little bit different of a load. I use Varget and I started at 24.5gr and worked up from there in .2gr increments. Work up a batch and find out what your gun likes.

Yea but I already have 62gr FMJ's, LC brass, Varget, RL-15, and CCI primers.
I'm just looking for a SS109 equivalency load I can crank out in quantity.

I won't tell you my charge weight of Varget but his statement basically describes it.

Use any 69 grain load and you should be close. The ARs are easy to make shoot well.
