I am reloading for my 7.62 SR-25. Great rifle, but a little picky when it comes to ammo. Best factory loads I have found are 168gr BTHP match. With anything else, I have experienced FTE. Anybody have experience reloading for this rifle? What is the best loads you have found for...

What a bone head. :banghead: It was the caliper. Won't make that mistake again. Thanks.
