    Hey dok
    Tryed the 185g lee without the checks did't work at all .
    The rifle has shot all the jacketed bullets i have fed it from 308
    to 312 . Have settled on the 123g soft point bullets pulled from
    7.62-39 . They have about 25g power in them and i use 30g
    in reformed 06 brass to get 2200-2300fps .
