I'm reloading for my LR308 with a Krieger 1:11 twist 20" barrel. I can get some great velocity of course at the cost of killing my brass after very few loadings. I was easily passing 2750 with 168gr AMAX bullets and Varget but my primer pockets were getting pretty loose and I tossed the brass rather than take a chance on it, the effort to reseat primers just was too close to zero for my liking.
I was curious if an adjustable gas block may help with brass life by prolonging how long the bolt stays locked or if I'm all dicked up and just need to back off a bit. I have found a super accurate mix with no brass problems but it's a 168SMK at around 2550fps and I'm not sure that's even gonna be decent at 600 let alone any further out.
