    I’m running 2 6.5 large frame AR10s with low mass carriers, adjustable gas block, and have played a little with the JP SCS weight. My builds needed a little less weight than the full heavy SCS to reliably lock back with factory Hornady 120gr ELD Match. I plan to run hotter reloads some I might add the weight back to it.
    My question is for guys running 6 Creeds with lighter bullets, what combo are you liking? The reason I ask is because I have a 22 Creedmoor barrel coming from Craddock and I’m not sure what way to lean. I’m planning on running hot with 75gr loads but I feel like I’ll need a standard weight carrier. The barrel will have +2 gas and an adjustable gas block. Any input is appreciated.
