Does the seating die have to be Hornady? Any 6PPC will work. Greg |

Have you tried the new 95 tipped SMKs I never even seen any in Phoenix. Remember longer means a faster twist in many cases. Greg |

The above targets were shot with 28.6 grains of IMR 8208, a 95 grain SMK seated at the rifling and a Remington 71/2 primer. Work up to this load slowly in an AR its near max. What barrel are you using with this load? |

Also, where do you guys start with load data in the manuals? 6mm PPC? 6mmBR? 6mm Dasher? I'm referring to starting powder load.

The barrels used in all the data posted here are Black Hole Weaponry Polygonal rifled P3 barrels. The barrels that were used in this thread are 1 in 8 twist. Load data can be taken from the max load PPC data and work up. You can also use BR data by using the bottom loads. Reduce by 10% and work up. |

Will the .267 bushing give me enough neck tension to avoid crimping for a gas gun? Is there a factory crimp die that will work with this cartridge?

It's the only size bushing I have ever used, I have never had a bullet move during the cycling of the BCG. IMHO the .267 bushing is over working your brass. After seating a bullet look at the neck of the case. If it has an hour glass shape, you have to much neck tension. There is absolutely NO reason to crimp any bullet in a 243 LBC. It has plenty of neck length to hold the bullet from moving. |

Will the Lantac Dragon muzzle device(5.56) work with my 243LBC build? Exit hole appears to be .281" so, if my understanding is correct, a .243/6mm projectile should be fine?

Anything over 260 or so should be fine.

I'm finding on my second and third loading that it is very difficult to open the action on my ar once closed on a loaded round. I need to use both hands to pull the action open. No other issues, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

No other issues, any suggestions? Thanks in advance J You need to bump the shoulders another 0.002 or so. They should always be bumped atleast 0.003 every time you relaod the case. Do not even consider loading AR ammunition without the shoulder bump. Greg |
