Was curious if the Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo 140 Grain HP BT that you can buy in the 200rnd bulk cases is Large or Small primered brass?
Still trying to decide on going a DPMS GEN II in .308 then get a new barrel (understand the issue w/ the barrel extension/bolt being proprietary and have seen the pics to know the difference) or going AR10A size, but in the mean time I can acquire parts that will work with either route I take.
Primer Question - From all I have read, for the CM, the Small primer brass is what one wants. Now, for Primers, when I do start reloading, I will be reloading for a couple 5.56 chambered AR15s, possibly a Grendel (I say possibly because having a 6.5CM kind of makes having a 16" Grendel kind of pointless other than I just need a SA ADJ gas block and I have all the other parts and I like to build unless anybody has any other reason/s to have both a Grendel & CM?), is there anything wrong using CCI #41 Primers in everything since the will all be in semi-auto rifles? Or are Primers like other parts of the reloading cocktail with different powder/barrel/bullet/case combos working differently with different primers? Trying to keep amount of different consumables down to the least amount without sacrificing each rifles potential.
Same goes for powder - any chance of a powder working good in (worst case scenario if I decide to keep the Grendel) .223, 6.5G & 6.5CM?
As always, Thanks in advance for your expertise,
Bob
