Just talked to Forster and the engineer said they are looking at producing dies for the 6mm Arc. He asked for my information to use as interest for production. Would be a good idea if we dropped em a line and let them know how many would buy.
Wet tumbled about 40 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor and salt bath annealed them. Yes, I know some say it doesn't work but my sizing dies and SD's say otherwise. Sprayed em with Lanolin will sonic clean em tonight and load tomorrow after drying.
8208xbr great for the Grendel not so much for the Creed. Pet load for the Grendel is 28.0 with a 120 SMK gave a .279 but i wouldn't stuff it in the Creed. Right now working with a123 Nosler CC but I am using RL17. Tried Varget.....no cigar so that nixed the 8208. Your mileage may vary.
For reliability believe it or not saw a video on the MP Sport went 840 rounds full auto as fast as he could do mag changes. Still fired single shot after the gas tube melted. You might as well save a little if you can. Your first one will just be a "starter Kit" anyway you are gonna make...
I had a barrel with an issue on the accuracy. They wanted it back sent me a new one after break in around 80 rds. put up a .279 MOA. Very happy with the way it worked out took about 3 weeks turnaround.
I have shot 2 boxes in the black with a new barrel both showed signs of too much pressure with ejector swipes and on a couple extractor cuts. Federal Fusion I shot after them showed neither.
Lock back on an empty mag is minimum and gives you a starting point. Adjust with more gas until it ejects at 3:00 your brass will thank you. That brass shows to be a little on the warm side. The ejection at 5:00 indicates not enough gas. I used that same chart to make a buffer adjustment...
As for the presses I gave my son my RCBS I now have a Mec Marksman and it's just as good as the ones you mentioned and better than some for runout. Price is decent and well built, smooth as glass.
