    AR-10 is chewing up my brass

    Everyone is always saying Federal is soft, I have a bunch and have been liking it although so far I have also been running my loads too hot.

    308 Winchester AR Only

    I have some Lake City match brass as well as some new Starline small primer I am wanting to try. Also have some Sierra 169s, 155s of both the 2155 and 2156 variety. I will find something that shoots.

    308 Winchester AR Only

    Anyone use H4895 or AR Comp with 155s and 168s? What is a good place to start with those components?

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Yea seems a touch hot but may be lot dependent. I just did 42.8 of H4350 with 120 ELDs, 2913 out of Tikka 24" which are known to be slow barrels. With a brake had some significant snap/blast to it. With CCI 250s brass and primers look good though, might just barely be starting to flatten but...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    Weird that the velocity barely changed over that range of charges.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I would get into reloading. No doubt, if it is an option for you. You can always keep a lot of factory of known quality that has tested well in your rifle.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Anyone work with 120gr ELDs? I have H4350, Varget and Superformance

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    I've always been curious to try both Benchmark and H322 for lighter bullet 223 and 308

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Looks as though I will be rolling with the 130gr SMK for awhile.

    223 Lapua Brass just in

    Seems to be trickling out on a few sites. I grabbed a box, I liked their old plastic boxes better than this new cardboard one.

    KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them

    Stainless CTR in 6.5 creedmoor. Loving the CTR mags, seem superior to AICS in a few ways. 2 5 round groups with cheap Hornady 140 bthps and hornady brass.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Mixing lots always krinkles my brain but you gotta do what you gotta do, what kind of powder?

    KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them

    I recently threw a Tikka CTR into W3, torqued to 65"lbs, shot maybe 160 rounds, went to change the trigger spring and the front action bolt was totally loose. Never had this happen before, maybe a tiny drop of blue loctite?

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I started with 41.5 and 140gr Hornady BTHPs and it shot very well. Good place to start IMO, 2700 out of a Tikka barrel, known to be a little slow.
