    I checked their website for reloading data for 6.5 creedmoor but they only have Hodgdon H4350 data for 120 gr AMax bullet. Can I use this same min and max data for IMR 4350? Of course, the same rule of starting from low data and work up applies.

    What Primer for 308?

    I know CCI #34 is probably the one I will go with on my 308 loads. But I am curious about Federal 210 and 210M primers. Are the Federal primers good alternatives to the CCI #34? What's the difference between the 210 and 210M? Which one is more suitable for 308?
