Aero Precision AR 10 build in 6.5 CM

[tomt]

The other day, I picked up an Aero Precision M5 lower receiver for a decent price. At the time I didn't realize saving $$$ on the receiver was going to cost mucho $$$ for the build.   Pretty much almost all of the parts and pieces are Aero Precision except for the Magpul Furniture and Superlative Arms gas block. The barrel is a 20"rifle length fluted Ballistic Advantage. I've loaded for my 6.5 CM bolt gun but not for a gasser. I will be running this gun suppressed with an Omega 300 until the Scythe-TI is out of jail. What should I on the lookout for? Thanks

Are buying commercial ammo or reloading? Reloaded AR ammo can be tuned to the rifle just like a bolt gun.

Good luck with your new build.

jvv2008, I have several boxes of Hornady 140 match that I was going to use in the beginning. Then start working up a load using either H4350 of Rolder 16, I have more 16 than 4350. Also I have Starline large and small primer brass.

Tom here's a thread where I built the same gun a couple years ago. Not sure if it will help ya any or not but it might..

Every creedmoor I own, or have owned, absolutely loves the 140 grain hornady bthp and H4350 combination.
