Well, a gunsmith at the shop I use looked at the M1S Fireball... unfortunately he wasn't the one I normally deal with and I'm not impressed.

Well, tried some super-sonic 220 SMKs and some sub-sonic 208 AMaxes with the same results... the target looks like a shotgun pattern. Just to make sure it wasn't me I ran 5 rounds through my .223...

I also tried some faster loads, but didn't make it very far into the supersonic range. I'm going to try some hotter...
