Little bit of an update!
Got to the range today and tried out a few different loads. I loaded up one round for each charge weight for each powder/bullet combo. All I was looking for was signs of pressure and I feel safe to say I didn’t see a whole lot of warning signs. Most shot around where MDWS predicted as far as velocity goes but I’m not too concerned about that right now.
I was able to shoot the 180gr XTP bullets with some success! They didn’t lock the bolt back or eject but I got them up to 2075fps. That’s as hot as I loaded them, more testing needed and I suspect my gas block moved on me is why because my 220gr Hotcors didn’t move the bolt either
Some pics of the brass. Some are out of order since they were tossed around

The ones without primers weren’t loaded.
Here is the brass from the XTPs

I still had a few FTF but I think it’s due to me dialing in my sizing die. That and I’ve heard of folks needing a longer firing pin which would help too. Overall the results were good and it gives me something to work off of! She has a bit of kick to her and it feels like I shot a 30-06 for two hours straight lol

I’m glad you had some success. Sounds like you are getting things ironed out.

Thanks! Definitely took my time getting back to it but I’ve just been busy.
I think when I run out of the heavier stuff I’ll kind of drop it from my loads. The shift is impact is Huge when compared to the 180gr rounds

Finally finished the lower to my build so I don’t have to keep swapping! Working on converting some .308 as we speak and double checking headspace so I don’t run into anymore FTF. I took the ejector out so hopefully I can fix some of the brass I sized just a little too short

So, was it all worth it? Where do you go next with it?
I still have not finished my Raptor....
Started 4-5 new builds.... working on P228...
Bought a new truck.... been a weird month

To be quite honest yeah it’s definitely worth it and it got my feet wet with wildcatting. Now that she’s all together my plan is to continue with my load development. It’s really fun to shoot and fairly simple to load for when everything is set correctly.
That being said I’ve been super busy and this year has been EXPENSIVE to say the least with buying a bow, finishing this build and shopping for a truck myself. Never a dull moment but I really would like to get back to the range
