I have a mold that produces 173 grain .308 gas checked bullets I am powder coating. I want to try using them safely in my AR47 762x39 with CFE BLK powder. What would be a safe starting load? I do have to seat the bullet dearly since the ogive profile engages the rifling pretty high up. How will this affect pressure.
Here is a picture of the loaded round and the bullet next to the case. The one in question is the orange one.
