I just am wondering if the XCR-M will be able to shoot heavier commercial bullets in 308win and not just light bullets and 7.62x51. And ideas Terra?

If Alex runs a 1:10 twist then you'll be fine up to 175g.

I was hoping it would be able to shoot 180gr+ hunting ammuntion cause that is what I plan to use it for.

If you go too big, the round won't fit in a semi auto magazine.

Assuming the commercial round isn't within spec, hand load and seat the round a little deeper and keep the OAL within spec.

If it's a hunting use round then your not going to need to load masses of i,t probably get away with using the Lee hand press.

True, but then case volme drops and hurts.
