My OP has been updated with lancecriminal's spec sheets copied from Reddit; I lightly edited them before posting but it's all there.

I have an SSA-e in my MK18 and a RRA NM 2 stage in my MK12. I am excited to put my sopmod stock on the Mk12 so I can compare the two back to back cause for the $65 I am into the RRA it has been pretty awesome so far... But I am going to compare them back to back next outing.

It's a different feel compared to the G's. For me, the LMT almost feels single stage-ish. The transition to the 2nd stage (the "wall" If you will) is almost nonexistent.just kinda builds pressure then breaks. I got a good deal on mine, if you can get one under $100, try it out. |

So I just emailed Kevin at HCS about Mod 1 uppers and got my name on a waitlist for the FF RAS to be released so he can build more. Now I just need to go through the painful process of waiting for the next batch or trying to buy one used for an astronomical price
At least this will force me to save up some money before I go all in, right? |

I've used CCI's milspec primers (#41) and--to be quite honest--can't tell any difference between those and the BR4s (and I'm using a slightly compressed load at ~2.250"). Save the money and buy the #41s for an AR platform.

I got an email notification for the KAC FF that I submitted for 6 months ago.

For the reloaders, there no difference in primers between CCIs 400 and BR4. The only difference is who's running the machine(s). Better QC on the BR4 (and any bench rest primer)
The 5.56 41 primers have a harder cup than the 400s. |
