Well I guess it's time to start down a new rabbit hole, or maybe I should say path, lol!
My brass showed up this morning, and since that was the last thing I needed to get started loading for this rifle, I'll have to come up with some test rounds and see what it likes. Shout out and thanks to Starline for the brass, it was on backorder and showed up in about a week after ordering.
I started by throwing 100 pieces in the vibratory tumbler for about two hours, and my next step is to set up my dies and size all of them, then I'll set the trimmer up and trim any that need it (none of them should), and finally chamfer/deburr all of them. I probably didn't need to tumble them, but that's the way I do things and its worked for me so far.
Bullets are 123gr fmj's, .310 diameter
Primers are CCI #34's
Powders on hand are Acc 2200, CFE BLK, Ramshot Tac, and X-Terminator
Rifle is an old Colt AR
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
