Hello guys - question here about firing pin and the new 110. I bought one in 6mm Creedmoor and wondering if anyone would see there being issues with buying small primer pocket brass, or if i should stick with large primer pockets. Wondering if anyone has tried the 6 or 6.5 CM with small primer pockets and these factory rifles?
Thanks

If you plan on pushing your loads to the maximum go small primer. Otherwise it is a toss-up. Alpha large primer shoots as good as Lapua small rifle in my opinion. With Lapua the SR flash hole is 1.5 mm or .059 and requires a special or modified decaping pin. You could drill it out but that would defeat the design purpose
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
Will be a coyote calling rifle, don't see any need to push the max too hard. Maybe I will give alpha a try. Thank you guys
I'm using the Peterson SP brass with no problem in my Savage 6mm Creedmoor Desert Tactical.
JP thanks for the tip, might try some peterson too. ordered some alpha LP for now
