Re: AR reloading problem

It does sound to me like perhaps your gun was chambered tight kneck to a factory case and perhaps not to a go gage. This would be unique to a factory gun?

Re: AR reloading problem

Yes My steel mags have a ridge or bump on each side. when a bullet is slamed forward those are often a bit sharp. Bye filing the edges more rounded and smooth I have eliminated denting.

Re: 34 grain Dogtowns and RL10x

Should be safe to use data for 35 g Berger with 10x My book shows start 21.5 g Max 23.8 G This is a touch heavyer bullet but should be relativly safe data to use even though coefficents vary. Both are flat base bullets.
