Dang, thanks for sharing. Seems like you tried to make these things work multiple different ways.

I hear you. That’s what I was trying to say too. They aren’t using the stronger case or higher pressures at all. They can get a little more powder in there so they get a small velocity gain from that. No different than reloaders doing a little bit spicy load.

The real benefit is from using tech to contain and shoot higher pressure loads. But nobody is doing that now except maybe federal with 7BC. Are they all just afraid of a lawsuit?

I've shot a little bit of the Badlands 70gr TSX and the 85gr Match Burner and I am seeing almost 200fps faster than some other factory loads with 70gr TSX out of a 11.5" and 14.5" barrel. I'd have to look at my Garmin but I think the 70gr TSX was around 2875 from a 14.5".

Haven't seen any pressure signs and ejection/recoil feels normal on an AR.
