Regardless I'm not shooting Lapua brass through an AR to be lost in the grass, the system has weaker extraction than a bolt gun, higher pressures aren't great for the longevity of the gun, and SAAMI max for 5.56x45 is 62,300psi or so, and book loads are vaguely meaningless due to variances in pretty much everything involved

So in short, I have no point here but I'm backing this off half a grain and re-testing
