Reloads for AR-10

[Jeff3C]

I have a bunch of once fired brass I have shot out of my DPMS LR-308. Will the rifle function properly by neck sizing and setting the shoulder back a bit? I hate to full length resize all of it but will do if needed. I have only shot factory loads out of this rifle.

I like about .005" of headspace for reliable functioning.

When loading for an autoloader, I would always reccommend FL resizing. The one time you need it to function is the time it won't.

It might work but you will be on borrowed time. Just FL it all.

FL re-size always, and you also may very likely need to trim.............YEA!!

FL everytime for autos, and either run a shitload of neck tension, or crimp with a Lee Factory Crimp Die for insurance.

Full Length Size and Use the Lee Factory Crimp die.

I never crimp for my 308 AR.
Neck tension has been enough and I run moly coated bullets which would make the friction even less.
Crimps may mess with your overall accuracy.
If accuracy isn't paramount then crimping has it's place.
