Awesome cartridge for thee AR15 platform. Thanks ridgerunner , you tried those ELD's on game with this caliber yet ? shot a doe at 300 with a 108 ELDM ran farther than I prefer but need more testing.

I only used Starline brass thus far and that could be it but usually Starline is of good quality. It would be interesting to see what reformed 7.72 x 39 brass with the large primer pockets does in that respect. scuba, my experience with starline brass is it sux! a load that hornady takes in stride will totaly ruin starline brass. ask me how I know.

Ridge Runner1960 trapper R Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 3,986 eastern WV	now got all the other posts responded to, so I bought a 6 ARC because with the scarcity of powder and primers today, it is a way I can shoot 1K and not break the bank and use components that are available today, tomorrow it may change, but rest assured, I will shoot years after those 300 win mags burn the barrel up, if the owners really practice at 600 yards

Ya see I had nothing to compare the ones I had to so for all I knew it could have been a case geometry specific thing with the primer pockets. But it seems to be the over all lack of material quality Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."
