IMI reloads???

[wisconsinteacher]

Okay, I took my fireformed brass and ran it through my Hornady FL die, primed and loaded with IMR 8208 (24.5/24.8/25.1/25.4/25.7/26) I backed off 2 grains from regular brass weights. My question is, all but the 24.5 are compressed. I used 123 Amax bullets set to 1.685" at the ogive and 2.268" over all. They fit in the AR mag that I have. Am I good to go or not?

You should be good as long as you aren't in the lands. Just look for pressure signs as you move up to the heavier loads.

Your light loads may not cycle the action. With AA2520 powder (30.5 grains max), mine won't cycle with less than 27 grains in the IMI brass, so that's my fire form load.
