[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1930927, member: 17593"] I'm a bit late, but I shoot cans on both my bolt rifles and ARs. I have a 6 Creedmoor AR10 that will not shoot factory Hornady ammo, but loves my handloads. I have an adjustable gas block, but even it didn't help the factory ammo. Two different people have told me, independent of each other, that it's the ammo, not the rifle. I can't help but believe Hornady used brass with "loose" primer pockets (and maybe real hot primers), as the primers would actually blow out. You may want to check your primers and pockets, just because.... A good can should not effect ES and SDs, but may be different from no can results. Cans do increase pressures, slow velocities a tad, like no more than about 25fps, but usually increase accuracy. Someone here pointed out the effects of shorter barrels on pressures and that's good to consider, too. I had another AR 10 that double tapped. Found oil in the trigger group and when removed, it quit doing it. [/QUOTE]
