[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 918951, member: 39801"] Sorry, my bad. I took for granted that you were looking at FL dies. Amything that is an auto loader needs FL sizing at a minimum. Lefty7mmstw lays it out out perfectly above - the case needs to be sized down enough so that the bolt can strip and seat it in the chamber reliably. As far as bullets, I also agree to look at something heavier than 55. I have an AR (similar to you, not fancy) that really likes 60gr VMAX for accuracy. Some other fast-twist guns love the 75's. I think that bullet weights and designs can really effect accuracy in AR's, and it is fairly simple to try a few flavors to see what it likes. I won't shoot critters past about 250 with mine, so the BC is moot - I just want something that shoots well and comes apart good when it hits. As far as different POI vs my plinking ammo, I just write down the difference and adjust my optics from one to another. Pretty simple in the scheme of things. Brandon [/QUOTE]
