    For those using virgin GAP brass and 88 ELDMs. I sized down the neck and then ran a carbide turning mandrel though the neck. I'm getting marks/indentations on the bullets when I seat them with my Forster micrometer die. I'm wondering if the necks are too hard from the additional sizing...

    Wow, those must have been pretty deep in the case. I have a new barrel and was thinking about using my DTACs but they are coated, but they take more powder to get the same speed. I might not be able to get enough powder in there with them that deep. Thanks for the info.

    Mine is a PVA and I don’t see any clearance issues. There may be the slightest of mark on the extractor, but that could be from me taking it in and out a bunch or cycling the action without a round in it as mentioned earlier by someone. Whatever the case I’m sure @bohem will make it right for...

    @Supersubes The mag is brand new. I can easily fit 11 rounds in it. Is that common with the AWs? "Definitely lube the anti bind rail, and any other contact point if only for the first couple hundred cycles." That's quite funny, lube the anti-bind rail! :) I'll add more lube.

    I think I have my AW mag feed issue resolved for now. I pulled it apart and stretched the spring. It feeds well so far. I ran about 50 dummy rounds through it after the stretch and it fed them all. I really like loading up these AW mags. They are so easy compared to AICS mags! I have the HRD...

    I know this post is almost a year old but I have a couple questions for you. Naked or coated DTACs, what powder, what jump?

    HRD makes them for AW mags. They are for Dasher/BR variations. Will have to thin the spacer most likely.

    Any issues seeing hits at distance? ROs have problems seeing impacts?

    I think that seeing hits on plates at closer distances for sure will be difficult at the speeds you are pushing. Even near 3000 fps isn’t that much slower. I know I can tell a difference in my 6GT loads of 2830 and 2940. I’m harder pressed to see which way a plate wiggles with the faster node if...

    I guess my first order of business needs to be making some dummy rounds so I can do some trouble shooting.

    How did you like it during the match? Are you running a brake, what kind and size?

    If it’s up agains the action solid what would make the rounds not pick up at the back of the magazine? This is my first go around with an AW magazine, do you adjust feed lips? It looks like they are perfectly aligned with the mag opening of the action.

    What load and speed are you at now? I just shot my first few yesterday so I could get a feel for it and see what speeds I’m getting. I am at 35 grains of 4955 and 88s. Only 20 rounds so far and it’s about 2865 fps. I want to save my other powders until the barrel gets 150 rounds on it or so...

    @S3th , still running H4350 and 85.5s?

    That was me. I would say more of an observation of something that stood out and I didn't care for, you can call it complaining if you like. I still stand by the observation, bolt lift is heavier than my Achimedes and and most definitely not as smooth on the lift. For now I'm going with it's in...

    That is encouraging as I love the bolt lift my Nukes with 16# springs, they seem very close to the Archimedes.

    @Rex_Allen I hope mine is the same when built. I don’t have a trigger installed yet, maybe that is the difference in force required? As for smoothness maybe that will come with lots of bolt cycling. My buddy who also has one on order and owns a Nucleus thought the same thing. He was like damn...
