Good day all. I have been in load development for a MK262 clone. I found several boxes of factory new SMK-loaded Fiocchi 77grainers and used that a a partial basis. I have included a table that I hope is viewable with the details. I know I am not using the best powders in the world for this, but it's what I have plenty of and these days, that's just going to have to do. My reloading manuals have me almost red-lined at the highest loadings here. There is virtually no recoil but it's VERY gassy, even with the Bootleg adjustable BCG turned all the way down. I only run this with the can on it, use an H2 buffer, have a G ACH, and have done the gasketing around the CH.
I would love to get the insight of those with more experience reloading for gas guns than I (been reloading for about 8 years, but have a lot to learn):
1) In anyone else's opinion, should I not slowly venture into higher pressure loadings to increase velocity?
&
2) Any suggestions on decreasing gas to the face other than what I've already done? (Again, this will only be used with a can)
If anyone wants any other details, just let me know and thanks for any and all advice!
