[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2400681, member: 95344"] I loaded those at mag length back around 2007? Anyways I put on a cannelure on the bullet myself for shites and gaggles. The bullet design might have changed but the ogive was very tight to the crimp. I made it work but with today's choices of bullets I wouldn't do it again. It really depends on the application. AR15's a general purpose truck gun for me. Varmints, predators are the primary jobs. So a tipped 53 VMAX for most varmints out to 400 yards. And probably 73-75 ELDM for longer range work or heavier game. [/QUOTE]
