Wondering what powder you SCAR reloaders use. I know with the M1A there are certain powders that you cannot use. Is that the same case with the SCAR?

I run 168gr SMKs with Alliant Reloader 15 in my Hornady Lock N' Load Progressive.

Runs like a champ and is capable of tapping steel at 800 consistently. Haven't really pushed it out further.

Alliant Power Pro 2000MR
Lake City Match 1994 headstamp
155 gr Nosler Custom Competion

Still fine tuning my load, but since installing the Giesselle, things are tightening up nicely. Max velocity chrony'd are over 2600 fps...

Another vote for 748. I use it with 145 - 150 grain bullets. I wish the SCAR barrel was a 1 in 10 though.

God, I wish it was 1:10 too. 180 gr HPBT would be sweet from it.
