Reloading for an AR-10

[Guest chevyman]

I just picked up an AR-10 NM and was wondering if anyone else out there has one and maybe some good starting load suggestions.

If semi-auto .308, aren't you going to want "small base" dies for your reloading? Simplistic enough start . . .

I dont use small base and my MATEN runs just fine. I just bump the shoulders and it runs flawlessly.

My understanding is that you only need small base dies if using brass that's been fired in a full auto. Loads for an AR10 really won't be any different than loads for a .308 bolt gun. I've had good results with 165g sierra game king bullets and varget powder loaded to mag length. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
