First of all, yeah Lapua brass is hard to find but starline is plentiful right now. It's a good brass, but I would stock up on it somewhat as supply seems to ebb and flow.
I use H335 for mt 100 ttsx bullets, The Barnes data I have is what I use, for the 115-120 tsx family it states that 28.0 is the max but might be compressed. If you can get the 115's I would suggest as they will give you a bit more MV, and a lower opening velocity. with 16" barrel more MV is good for you.
grayfox Wrote:Also you list the cci 34 as your primer but starline and all (non-ppu/AK brass) is small primer, so you'll need either cci 450 or cci 41, or a similar. I'd stay away from 400's as the cup is thinner. Some of the #41's are selling for decent prices (at least out here in free America lol!) nowadays. but the 34 is a large primer.I misspoke on those primers as I just found 1000 LRPs of CCI 34 up at Kelseyville Lumber. The local lumber is an FFL and sells ammo, firearms and reloading components.
On the Grendel I'll be using the GM205MAR, I have 5000 of those that I had on hand for a number of years. I haven't shot anything in the past few years, I disassembled everything and locked all my lowers up in the safe, because of the BS California imposed on us. This is all blowing up in their face with Bruen as most of you know.
Anyway, those are similar to the CCI military in that they will prevent light strikes in a semi-auto.
