Had nearly half of an ammo delivery stolen by a FedEx worker. They said me or Brownells were likely the cause. Luckily had pictures and security video showing package had all original tape torn and cut off and then poorly retaped prior to arrival...

I think you need more than a +2 gas. My 24" 6 Creedmoor is a +3 and runs factory hornady fine. Copper creek is a little hot. Flat primers with some extractor imprinting. Plan to reload for that barrel in the future.
