[QUOTE="KaSH0508, post: 1917382, member: 100655"] I have been shooting a 6mmAR For years now it’s a fun versatile round. I run 55s for PDs, 75 VMAXs for coyotes and 95 SMKs to 108 ELDs for long range steel plinking. I also have plenty of .223s, 6.8 SPCs and a 6.5 Grendel. The only downside to both the 6mmAR and the 6.5 Grendel is the brass and occasional the bolt. The brass bulges at the base of the case if pushed. I have tried every type of brass, Hornady has soft primer pockets, Lapua holds pockets but bulges at the base, Starline also bulges at the base, The only one that holds remotely is the Norma and it is stupid expensive. I just roll with the Hornady as it is cheap. I have also broken bolt lugs on 2 Grendel bolts in the past. I have never had an issue whatsoever with 6.8 brass or bolts it seems to hold up way longer and at a bit higher pressure. This is a good thing in my eyes though, a Wildcat going factory is great. Maybe slightly slower than what I been running due to the shoulder being pushed back reducing case capacity slightly. Not enough to make a huge difference though, maybe 20-30 FPS. Better components from more manufactures will follow. [/QUOTE]
