Big thanks to ZCarMan for telling me about the Gen2 Sub 2000 over lunch today. I was very close to buying a Gen 1, but now I'm going to wait.

As for burning rate. Ideally you what the powder to burn within about 3" from the end of the barrel. Burn too quickly, you get low velocity. Burn too fast, you get big muzzle flash, and a dirty barrel.

If they ban the AR or 5.56 rounds I will LOL hard! My brother just bought one several months ago. After using the M4 for several years and the M249, I purchased the SCAR 17 for the .308 round used. Really is a nice rifle that I combo up with a FNX-45. I am thinking about buying the short barrel for the SCAR and putting a can on it. Not sure if I want to hassle with ATF for 6+ months waiting to get approval to get it.

If they ban a given firearm by rifle, they aren't going to ban just AR15s and variants...they'll ban by category (based on feature set) and the SCAR17 will be part of the ban. Caliber isn't part of the criteria that governments use for defining "assault rifles". In the meantime, there is still no problem, or even rumored problem, with XM193 ball ammo in 5.56, nor with any of the loadings in .223. Quote:

Excellent post. And I agree that the hassle of a tax stamp is purely the wait and that's really a non-issue. |

I filled everything out, got approved by CLEO, and then just never mailed it. Now I've moved, new CLEO will say no so I went sig arm brace. I need to do something else since the arm brace is now such a pain.

So what am I looking for though in the end? Use a chronograph and try and get the bullets as fast as possible without blowing the case/primer/me up? I'm sure even a slow 223 can be accurate to a distance. I've just never done distance. I know at 100 yards my 10" is dead on but is it deadly if only a few ftps cause the barrels so small? I know any reload I've done and any ammo I've shot doesn't even touch my ar500 plate. But a guy with normal 5.56 FMJ 55gr out of a 20" barrel blasted right through like a knife through butter. I'm hoping this 16" 416 barrel is a little more powerful.

I use either the Sierra 69gr Match or the Hornady 68gr Match bullets, with Norma brass, CCI 400 primers. I want to try the Berger 70gr VLD bullets next.

Trying to figure out what to do with...
A number of years ago, I had Accuracy Rifle Systems build a mini-14 for me. The only part of the rifle that is Ruger is the receiver. It has a 1" lothar Walther barrel, about 20" long, Hogue stock, new gas block, you name it. With a cheap scope, it shot .5 at 100 yards bench rested. I went through all the protocols, 1 shot, clean it, for 20 rounds. Took forever. Then 3 shots clean it for 20 rounds. And then I put it away. Most accurate rifle I've ever fired but what the heck do I need with a $1300 dollar .223 rifle in mini-14? The owner has passed away and I bet they went out of business. Cool guy too. Talked to him before he died. Anyone know in this current climate is it worth trying to sell or just keep?
