Load them full and let them ‘set’ for a few days. It’ll help some

One of our weapons techs was big into reloading and working on ballistics, I don't know how much he had invested in this but he sure had a lot of gear.
He went so far as to buy the same sniper platforms we had just to do his own testing at home. He'd submit huge reports to our national weapon's testers on ballistics for our weapons...the guy was a genius when it came to weapons.

I’ve been reloading off and on for 30yrs. A progressive Dillon 550 does most but I still use a super old RCBS single stage press for my target guns.
Getting into it now really doesn’t save much as components especially primers are still stupid high. But it’s therapeutic and allows one to tailor a particular load to meet a guns needs better than factory ammo.
I’ve never had the need for using one until trying the factory mags that came with the gun. The springs are stupid strong and pushing beyond the 4th round was impossible. Pushing a round object onto another round object didn’t help either. Now, if they were flat…
The Colt mags and the McCormick mags for my 1911 are stiff but not thumb killer stiff. The Uplula works great!
A long time ago I tested some soft body armor vests for a police department. I shot handgun calibers from 22 thru 44Mag from six feet away and surprisingly the round that penetrated the most layers of Kevlar was a 22 Stinger, pierced three layers of the 21 layers in the vests. The 44 and 357 mags went thru 1&1/2 layers, not quite thru the 2nd layer. For laughs we taped a 12x12” piece of vest material to 5-6 phone books and shot it with a rifled slug from a 12 gauge pump also from six feet. It didn’t pierce even one layer of the vest but it did push the entire 12x12” vest thru every phone book.

I completely forgot that I had started this thread. So back in August of 22 I mentioned that I was going to build an AR10 chambered in 308. Well a little over a year later I am happy to say its finally finished. I did an
aero build on this one.
20 inch premium bull barrel by ballistic advantage.
ultradyne apollo max compensator
geissele ssaex trigger
geissele billet charging handle
aero buffer group
magpul gen 3 precision stock
tyrant design pistol grip
harris engineering bipod
cryptic coating silver bcg with titanium firing pin
And for the optic I got the Arken ep 5x25
thats the highlights anyways. zeroed it in at 100 yards. sub moa groups for sure. something like 1/2 to 3/4 for a 5 shot group using 168 grain federal gold medal....
the case is pelican. Altogether i have just under $2500 in the rifle and the scope was under $600. The scope is as good as any scope 3 times the money. Its really nice.

That's an excellent price for a quality firearm....
Arken scopes have good reviews....
Looks like a lot of fun...sadly we can never own such a weapon here any longer....
Sweet stick! 16lbs is a chunk for sure!
I have two Giselle Match Two Stage in the mail right now as I grabbed them for $99.00 each. I shoot so much better with these. https://www.primaryarms.com/geissele-automatics-g2s-two-stage-ar-15-trigger-.154in?quantity=1

That is a beautiful weapon and you did great. Enjoy and let freedom ring!
Nice piece. And I thought my new gun weighed a lot at 59 ounces.
I spy a maritime bolt catch!
