Handload question;

[7shooter]

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,

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.

Oops, didn`t see the reloading section. Doh!
