Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but have you run any ~168gr through it?

I don't generally run anything that heavy, usually 135 to 145 is where I top out....

depending on barrel length I've pushed the 135's up around 2,400fps....

Complete ARs, uppers and bbls in 11.3" and 16.2" CAR gas, 1-10 or 1-11 twist (haven't made the final decision yet)
Loaded Ammo in both new and OF cases, will be loading Sierra 125gr PH, Nosler 125gr BT, Speer 125gr TNT and Barnes 110gr TTSX
Formed cases, both new and OF LC
Hornady dies
Case gauge
Load data


This will NOT be a proprietary caliber and access to chamber drawings and reamers/gauges will available to anyone. I hope everyone will use the same chamber spec so we will start off and remain consistent with dimensions!!!! We've settled on Kurt's final dimensions with one minor change so will be cross-compatiable with existing dies/chamber/brass.


If the demand is there we will also offer 18" and 20" mid gas too ??????
