BM8208 is what the Aussies use in their F1A1 5.56 Military Ball. I've played with 8208 in .223 and .308 - works well, but there is a very fine line between no pressure signs and blowing out...

I liked my Redding turret press so much I decided to make a couple more but decided that the way they laid back was a mistake in the design. Turns out built upright if you do not hold the handle, it...

It'll work. But I can think of better actions to start with. The Ruger American is one My 6arc is a howa 1500. With the bolt face sleeved down. Run mdt acis 6 arc mags, with no feed issues

Fwiw, I turned a 204 case to a 6.5 and in my kimber with 22 inch barrel it shot the 90 gr pills out at 3100 fps. It's just like any reloader you need to make an effort.
