I like it!
That is a little bit wild, but it's pretty cool too! Nice work. How does shoot?
Shoots pretty good. I have gotten good results with 155's and 178's. I keep loosing primers in Federal cases though.
I hated that even with mild loads i was only getting 2-3 reloads out of my FGMM cases. So now they are in a bucket in my garage probably headed for the trash.
I have a a hundred or so Federal cases I've gone through with my bolt gun; never lost a primer. They've been loaded proably 5 times and annealed along the way. I use them now just to load foulers, and serious shooting is Lapua brass only. The semi-auto must be more punishing I suppose: keep shooting and having fun with it!
The military fc brass holds up good
Zombie green is always a good choice. Looks great.
Thanks, I have some LC brass now so im curious to see how long the pockets hold out.
You won't lose that thing in the grass!!
If you want brass life try not to get too greedy about velocity. I had a good node around 43.5 of varget but it was punishing the brass pretty badly. I gave up the speed, dropped down a node and the brass is much happier. Chasing velocity with a semi seems to be brass death, especially if you have any early unlocking issues.

I never got close to 43.5 of Varget or 4064 with Federal brass. Anything over 40.5 and I would loose primers on every case. Now I need to start over with the LC brass and see what I get. 40.5 grains if 4064 with 178's gave me a little over half moa. The same load in the LC brass opened up to over moa so I will have to probably drop the charge a little. I haven't chronoed anything yet so I have no idea where im at for velocity.
