Federal Peak Alloy 5.56

The biggest thing I'd be watching out for is gas port pressure. If that pressure peaks too close to the gas port you can get ripped case heads, broken extractors, and excessive velocities on the moving parts, beating things up internally more. But if their powder spikes its pressure early and the pressure drops enough by the time the bullet passes the gas port, it'll be less of a concern.

It’s possible they’ll do it through powder selection, but also, regulate port size or go to adjustable gas blocks. I’m moving to adjustable gas blocks anyway for dialing in hand loads. I agree with Form. Don’t let Joe average determine where technology leads. If he’s ignorant and tears something up, that’s on him.
