[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 544453, member: 15748"] Dave, No, it certainly isn't. For one thing, they're generally found only in bolt guns, and the AR's a whole different animal. Hate to beat a dead horse here, but this is my usual rant about loading for ARs, or other semi-autos. It's an example of advanced handloading, and needs to be treated entirely differently than does bolt gun reloading. Use gages to determine your sizing, full length resize ALWAYS, and you may even want to go to small base dies if there's any hint of chambering issues. Better than my running all this down again, check out Glen Zediker's "Handloading for Competition". There's also a section on reloading for gas guns in the Sierra manual, and it's pinned on [URL="http://www.usrifleteams.com"]www.usrifleteams.com[/URL] under their reloading forum. The Precision Shooting Reloading Guide (not a relaoding manual) has a chapter by John Feamster on Service Rifle reloading that's worth its weight in gold. If you're new to gas guns, check these sources out. They're worth the time, and could save you some trouble. In the meantime, any other questions, just post 'em right here! [/QUOTE]
