Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

I worked up that load with BM2, i got up to filling the case 31gr before there was a slightest hint of pressure. I settled on 28gr as that was the most accurate, Lapua Brass and a modern bolt action really let the little case perform. the published data for AR rifles is very conservative in a bolt action.

the rifle was a 7.62x39 and it has been bead blasted and cerakoted flat black.

Yep I know where you are coming from.

The factory 450 Bushmaster ammo is supposed to do 2200fps in a AR15 with a 20" barrel (IIRC), it does 2000 ish in my 12" bolt actions,

I can easily load it up to go 22-2300fps, I bet the ARs wouldn't like that load at all
