@TheChief Think I was joking? I had to make it long enough for the railed section for a shotgun tube would fit. Yes, bullets are stable but it is LOUD, even with a can. A few weeks ago I loaded up some max loads using Lil’Gun and screwed a muzzle brake on. It didn’t kick at all but I had to...

Here is how I load for 223 and it has worked more often than not. I start by loading to the lowest SD I can get. If your SDs are excessive you are going to have high/low misses at distance. Once I have a load with single digit SD's I shoot groups. If they dont shoot acceptable I will load a...

I have a 13" gun with a mid length gas. It shoots 75g HPBT at 2,691 fps. They are loaded with 24.7g of TAC being ignited with CCI41. Ramshot lists load data for 5.56 pressures and this load is well below max.

Do you reload? If so there is more speed to be had.

For a single shot forget 296, it isn't that great as a sub powder anyways. What barrel length? I have done a LOT of testing on single shot guns with SHORT barrels. I use Red Dot for 99% of my shorter barrel heavy loads. VV3N38 also works well on single shot shorter barrels with heavy bullets...

Most people cut the boat tail out or shorten that mold. Powder coating does help but some powders are awful with cast, even if coated. That particular bullet never really worked well. I have owned three of their molds trying to get it to work, never could. If I were to get back into casting I...

It is now 2023 and I am running 75G out of a 13" rifle. Getting 2,645 fps average.

What gas length is the upper and would you sell just the upper?

Does it have the gas rings installed?

I’ve had everyone you’re considering and in the end I want up with a 5.11 TAC Tech carrier. It was the most comfortable. The scarab is nice but it didn’t jive with my shooting style. My plates were VERY tight in the Scarab. The Crye JPC was nice but the 5.11 worked better for me.

Spend some time in the Colorado Springs area too. Plenty of beautiful views.

I believe when you rechambered it you tightened the throat back up. It reaches max pressure before the bullet moves an inch so if that first inch is loose you are going to loose some of the pressure. Setting it back tightened things back up to be able to use the pressure. ETA: And when...

I have been above 200 and under 160 at least 5 times in my life. Takes a few years to pack on the extra weight then I buckle down and loose it again. I am sure it is playing hell on my body but if I didn't fluctuate I would probably be 400+ pounds by now. Going to try to make this one my final...

I have used it and compared it to QL. They seem similar but I did find a few loads that were suspect. But as people contribute the information will get more reliable.

I've lost 80+ pounds in the last year with 60 coming off in the first 4 months. I did it using intermittent fasting and I would cheat at least once a week.
