6.5? HD? Match? which staball?

Both actually 6.5 is a little faster but I can shoot both with book max almost interchangeably, I’m sure a better shooter would notice more of a difference than I.

You may be suprised the the crimp is so light you can seat primers fine unless its different to my "crimped" g.f.l brass. By the second seating I couldn't tell with the hand primer (never could seating on the dillon) and a few i just gave a quick spin on my vldchamfer tool and it was done in a 5 seconds maybe including picking up and putting down the brass

Nah, it was painful. Half because of the crimp and half because my Lyman hand priming tool is annoying. I broke some primers, etc.

I'll need to get a much better priming tool in the future if I want to shoot and reload bulk .223 ammo.

There must be variations or differences between GFL brass. Maybe different type runs. I have never struck or had a problem with primer crimping and have loaded many hundreds of them. My brass is once fired bulk factory ammo from a pest contractor.

Ive got both GFL and G.F.L headstamped brass. Both have what id call a very light crimp.

Keep your eyes peeled for black hills 69gr and 77gr tmk coming to internet shelves soon. Recent lots should arriving to outlets now through next week! It’s been a while since I’ve seen the 69gr tmk.

I’m definitely interested in some of the 69-grain stuff.

What kind of load are you using? that seems pretty hot. Sierra manual says 2650-2700 for a 24” barrel. ~25fps per inch I was figuring I’d get more 2450ish MV for a 16”

Yeh, KI guess there is some variation in it for sure. All this brass was being shot from the same boxes of ammo but some would take primers and some wouldn't. I can easily buy once fired ADI stuff in bulk OK but I have a chance to get some bulk Red Earth ammo so I'll explore that option first.
