Not hijacking at all. The cheapest odd caliber to shoot would be 6x45 (6mm-.223). There's plenty of load data, there's factory (don't know the prices), uses cheap .223/5.56. The dies are priced according to most die sets. It's just a different barrel than 5.56 but same bolt. I looked at 25x45 but brass shortening is required, less data, dies are special order and a couple hundred bucks and it seems to be comaparable to 6x45.

Im waiting for the optic to show up by you can shoot it next week at GFH if it shows up. I'm loading some round right now. 123 grain SMK.

Let's take a shot at it, no pun intended. 6mmAR is my version of a precision rifle in an AR platform. It is the most accurate cartridge I've ever fired from an AR over long ranges. It isn't highly charged and should have really good barrel life. There's an enormous selection of bullets for match shooting, hunting too but I don't with this, in various weights. It's also very forgiving on powder types. The load data is available for h4895, XBR8208, CFE223, N140 and a few more. 300 AAC I've dissesembled, gotten a tax stamp and SBR'd it with a suppressor. It's a great heavy subsonic round that is heading safe suppressed. I may hog hunt with it. There's a lot of bullet weights, I mostly use H110 or Lil' Gun powder. I've had it for a while just for the novelty but until I moved the rifle to Florida and transformed it I really didn't see any value in it. 6.5 Grendel is a really good powerhouse. It's not as BC as 6mmAR that was born from the cartridge but for long distance, short distance or hunting it's great heavy bullet AR. The amount of choices on bullets, shapes and weights, powders, etc is quite extensive. There is big community support and a lot of folks hunt with the round and precision shoot. 6.8 SPC II, I have regrets on this one. I'm not sure what to do with it. I built it from 100% Wilson combat components and it's a bit disappointing. Not extremely great at distance, brass is as much or more this new lapua Grendel brass. There's load data and choices on components but in my opinion it's the answer to a question that no one asked. The debate rages on Grendel vs 6.8 and has gotten a bit religious but I'm completely in love with the Grendel. I've built two of them. 6x45 is just my love affair with wild cat rounds. It uses 5.56 brass, which is cheap and I have tons of, many 6mm bullet choices and it handles 55 to 100 grain. It's a good caliber at intermediate ranges and it's built from 100% 5.56 components except for the barrel. I bought the barrel for cheap on a BHW Black Friday sale and bought some dies. I've test fired it and was very soft shooting and accurate at 50 yards with an unmagnified RDS. I put a 1-6 on it and will go to cherry ridge to see how it does at 2-300 yards. According to the data that's the sweet spot for the round. Components are cheap for loading it, there is factory ammo. The barrel life is longer than a 5.56 as well. So it's basically a 5.56 that can throw slightly heavier bullets with better BC. It's probabaly a great varmint rifle. As I mentioned to Topher via text if I could only have one, thankfully that's not the case 'cause I like variety, it would be the 6mmAR. However that's going to be the priciest one and the toughest to get built. I waited for quite some time to get my upper assembled from a custom reamed barrel by Young's Gunsmithing in Montana. They did great work for a great price and a soft sweet shooter that I love to take out on the range. Hope this is somewhat useful.

If it were choosing one it would be a Grendel. However, i would choose my 6mmAR over the Grendel for precision shooting from an AR. The problem is only a few people have the reamer. My barely came from barrel man in Texas and was reamed and assembled by Youngs gunsmithing in Montana. They were very inexpensive for the quality of the work. However if you're in a hurry it's a no go. It'll take a couple months to get it back. Btw, just to keep my good name in tact, Frank made me build the 6mmAR. I don't want everyone to think I don't have any enablers around. . He was right though it is the best shooting round I've ever had out of an AR Platform.

The first round I single loaded because I only had long A-Max bullets that I use in my 6mmAR. I have some SMKs that I'm going to fire from the mag. I just got an optic for it so I took the RDS off. From what I have read it's pretty accurate out to a few hundred yards but the proof is in the pudding. I'm going to mount a 1-6x given I'll mostly shoot 300 and in on it. The use of .223 brass is why I ended up doing it. It's like building a standard AR, bolt and all, but changing the barrel like a 300 BO. No cutting and no fire forming on the brass is needed, just stretch it out. I was going to build this instead of the grendel but like an ass ended up doing both. Sometimes I can't be left alone.

MP sport is mil spec dimensions but not all milspec material. The safety should fit and work if installed properly. Take a photo please?

I actually saw this posted in the Port of Authority terminal and Grand Central. I'm expecting a few pithy comments on how you folks feel about this view of protecting yourself. I'm dumbfounded that someone believes this is true or helpful. Make sure your cellphone is loaded in case you run into trouble.

Looks bad ass.

Wtf, nopictures?

When my kids were young we had Boxers. They are fanststic with kids, endlessly playful and can protect in a bad situation. One of my boxers took on one of my bullmastiffs years ago and lets say more than held her own. .

Well it depends on who you speak with. His approval rating is about 15%. In NJ I see that as a positive but he is toxic and probably why Trump dumped him as well.

ok, that was longer than I thought.

Christie is so toxic right now that any republican is needs to summit additional hurdles in this deeply blue state. Forget the 2A stance being attractive to liberals, Murphy is promising to do all the liberal things, raise taxes, raise minimum wage, expand welfare, restore COLAs for PW. He's got a tax payer funded bribe for every group in his bag of tricks.

Yeah, I was being facetious, doesn't always work in internet postings, I don't expect any criminal to violate their 5th amendment protections.

Wow, this guy really doesn't like dealing in facts, but name a dem who does? Bi-partisan common sense laws? Required registration somehow prevents gun violence? What's every criminal suddenly going to feel beholden to disclose and register their firearms? NJ is going to be screwed, not just 2a rights, when this socialist gets in. https://www.murphy4nj.com/issues/getting-tough-on-gun-violence/

Oh, wow, both articles called it an assault rifle. Imagine select fire 50 BMG on your shoulder.

Ok spill it, what are you importing?

Thanks.

Brine before the storm.

No filler rod, just start it up and hit the pin? Are you using hi frequency start on your arc?

Wow the 6x45 shoots not loud, super soft shooting and accurate. Only shot 50 yards in doors with an aim point. Pics later. I'll put a scope on it to see how accurate it is.

How many amps on the TIG?

OK--Grendel and 6mm-.223 are assembled. If I can I'm going to test fire at least the 6x45 because I made some ammo for it. I didn't have the to assemble any grendel rounds. Oh, well.

Yeah +1.
