My AR10's load is dialed in with the following formula:
Winchester brass
175g SMK
CCI 200 primer
43.5g of Varget
2.797 COAL
Sub 1/2MOA grouping 100 yards, 1/4MOA if I do my job (still need much more practice).
I would like to start using mixed head stamp 308 brass (so I can practice more and not fret over the brass cost) and here's my question, do you think my powder charge is too high for LC or other Mil spec brass? I don't mind if the different head stamp brass opens up the group a little at the 300 yard range since anything beyond would be shot with the above exact load (and data collected).
To give more insight, in a few short months, I will be swaging my own 175g HPBT projectiles thus my overall cost of 308 ammo will drop significantly with my only real cost being powder charges. I would like to shoot my fired mixed head stamp brass and swaged projectiles at my 300 meter range to increase trigger time and keeping the same load data as consistent as I can. When I travel to other ranges, I would only use the above load or until my swaged bullets prove themselves in consistency.
Thoughts?
