I'm trying to build a new XTC rifle.

I don't reload anymore so I bought some IMI Ammunition 5.56x45mm 77 Grain Razor Core (Sierra MatchKing Hollow Point).

How will this ammo shoot in the CLE chamber? Bartlein barrel.

Will I get blown primers or will I be ok.

You’ll be perfectly fine.

With a Bartlein, you will know exactly how well you shoot.

Agree, IMI is almost as good as Black Hills and a decent value for the price.

Your rig will do fine with respect to short line loads to the point where you would be surprised at what it can use and shoot a clean score at 300.

The AR Service Rifle isn't easy on brass. Your IMI brass is good, but don't expect long life out of the brass.

I will suggest you run your 600 brass separately from your 200/300, but there are folks who run it all together and do well.
