    At 2.5", I would be looking at an ARC or Grendel derivative.

    Might be worth tracking down a Canjar trigger, although it seems...

    The mindset of 'if I get this bullet going fast enough, then ballistics won't matter', is just wrong. The faster you push a...

    If it's the standard Remington 1:9.25", then you'll probably get away with it if usings 180 ELDM.
