[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2867387, member: 2939"] I have reload 308 for many years and have developed some nice rounds using modern powders. Nothing hot rodded near max. I've always found higher accuracy is generally achieved with somewhat less powder than the max listed in loading tables. My ar10's in 308 love them. The my buddy buys this heavy expensive FN SCAR 20S. So he wanted a few hundred reloads for cheap shooting. So we went out shooting and on the 2-3 shot the SCAR jams. Like couldn't even get the bolt open. I had to pry it with a phillips screw driver. It had blown a primer. first though is did it get an overdose of powder on my Dillion 550. So he tried again and 3 shots later it did it again. What I didn't understand is that it could only use lower powered service rifle loads or it would blow primers.
