7shooter Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good morning. As stated in my intro, I`m a long time shooter but am new to the 308 AR platform. How is the AR on .308 brass? The M1A`s in which I`m used to loading for are very hard on brass, I would only reload it 4 times max after a case-head separation check (paper clip test). I use GI brass. How many times can I expect to use brass out of a RRA LAR-8? Surplus 4895 is my main powder for .223 and .308. I ASSume it`s fine for the .308 platform pressure wise? Is the .308 platform about the same as the AR15 as far as handloading techniques go (only bigger)? Thanks, 7shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I would expect 4 to 7 loading before the primer pocket is too loose or cracks appear in the neck. Rem brass last 5 loadings. LC a little more. If you don't use max power loads you may get more than 7. Check the reloading section for more info. Welcome to the forums ...from AZ !
