Hello all. I teload for most my guns but juat got a new savage 10 fcp in 308 and wanted some good over the counter loads to start building up brass with. 20" barrel 1-10 twist. Will be playing on paper for a while out to 500 and doing a little yote hunting with it. What would yall recomend?
 
Federal ammo does shoot very nicely. But the brass, and more importantly the case heads, are VERY soft. Not something you want to load many times. They love to let-go. Had some around the 5 load mark, let go while doing Pressure testing. Apparently 53,000 psi is more than it can take:D:D
