I want a 20" JP or Larue in 556. The weapon will be used for punching paper and steel at 300 to 600 yds. No tactical stuff so weight is not an issue. All shooting will be prone or from bench.

I have a Brux 308, 1-11 twist with about 1500 rounds. I don't clean often. When I do clean I get plenty of carbon out but almost no copper. Sure not complaining, but did I just get lucky or is this common with a Brux.

When using my iPhone ballistics app selecting G1 gives me a 14.68 come up. When selecting G7 I get 11.95 come up. My actual range data is much closer across the board selecting G1. In looking up the differences, using my bullet, 175 Sierra HP Match King, I should be selecting G7. If I do...
