Not 6.5 creedmoor compatible - FailZero AR10 .308 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG)

Jake's Review of FailZero AR10 .308 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG)
First off, love Fail Zero BCGs. I will continue to purchase Fail Zero prducts for 556 or 300 systems, but I will never purchase another Fail Zero for a 6.5 Creedmoor. The 6.5 is such a high pressure round, that standard 308 BCGs are unable to contain the pressure and the firing pins are too long. On my second round, the firing pin pushed through the primer, which blew the primer into the BCG, completely destroying the firing pin. The bolt assembly locked into the star receiver of the barrel. After about a dozen kickstarts, I was able to dislodge the bolt. I have since removed the bolt assembly and replaced it with a JP Enterprises high pressure bolt assembly, which costs as much as the Fail Zero BCG. I was lucky that it did not damage my carbon fiber barrel, but that's not always the case. Beware if you're running a 6.5, especially with a match barrel.
