    Need help w/6.5mm cm initial loading; component selection

    H4350, CCI450's, Starline brass, and it shoots 140 ELD-M's great and 147's as good, maybe better at .020" jump off the lands.

    Alpha Brass - Good Stuff!

    In what way was the SRP brass better than the LRP brass? Better than Lapua also? ...if so, in what way? Is the flash hole in the SRP regular size or smaller like Lapua?
