    (1) 20" Craddock Precision RTR 22 ARC Barrel (Rock Creek Button Cut) 1-7 Twist / +2 Gas System / Heavy Profile / .875 Gas Block Journal / 5/8x24 Threads.
    (2) JP Grendel Bolt.
    (3) New Old Stock LaRue 5.56 PredatAR Rifle.
    (4) VLTOR A5 H2 Buffer System with JP Polished Rifle Length Spring.
    (5) Fixed .875 Gas Block
    (6) Full Ambi Controls
    (7) Magpul PRS Lite
    (8) Tuned early Production Larue MBT.
    (9) Nightforce FDE ATACR 7-35 F1 MIL XT.


    Shoots Hornady 88gr ELDM and 75gr ELDM Black Factory ammo very well, Suppressed and unsuppressed. Hates the 62gr ELD-VT

    Only 40rds down the the barrel, the 88's look very promising. I'll put another 100rds down the barrel and update as the barrel breaks in.

    I'll most likely start Load Development with the 75 ELD's, with TAC and XBR.

    Are you still breaking the barrel in? If not how many shots did it take before shot velocity settled down? I just ordered a RTR chambered in 223 so im curious
