Still trying to find some happy loads for 2 of my covid builds - built two on ARs  one 458 Socom and the 50 beouwulf.  Just have not gotten them out to the range us much as I would like ( expecially since primers are getting so hard to come by ) 

If they want to NFA tax 30 round clips - all of mine are for the Socom or the Beowulf - which cuts that 30 down to only 10 rounds because of how fat they are. 

So far my best receipe for either got about 2" out of both at 100 yds.  But a pumpkin with .50 300 gn FTX at 30 yds will get you backsplatter.

Just finished a 6.5 Creedmoor as well on a AR10 lower - right now about 1/2 inch @ 100yds with 2 sets of keyholes.  I know of some longer ranges in Alabama that I want to take it out to see how well it reaches out over 500 yds.  I am not far from the CMP range in Talladega but not a fan of the range prices.  Long fields in Alabama that allow shooting at distance is a premium.

Been loading with my dad since I could resize a cartridge and not lift myself off the ground.  Shotshells from 410-10 guage and currently setup for about 20 or so difference rifle/pistol with probably another dozen oddball dies for things my dad wanted to get before he passed but never got around to.  He loved the ones you could never find ammo for over the counter.

As for ammo I am not sure if demand is just that insane right now drying up not only store shelves but also ammo manufactures keeping things like primers in house to make ammo vs selling the components.  I heard that one ammo company was around $8 million in backordersa few months back, and I believe it with the bare shelves.  People were scared all through Covid and gun sells went crazy and now with the Antifa, BLM, gun banning, police defunding idiots heading to the White House short of a miracle we can expect demand to be high for some time.
