Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

Thats my thoughts. Honestly an SBR or pistol build makes way more sense for my style of hunting, but heck with the lightweight components as light as they are might as well make it as ULUL as practicable.

i think semi auto functionality makes a lot of sense in my area, and would be worth the weight penalty compared to a straight pull.

Ive killed probably close to 20 game animals with a rifle and i cant think of a single shot ive had over 100 yards.

I do the straight pull for two reasons: it's quieter with my suppressor, and saves some weight. Otherwise semiauto would be the ticket. However, with the side charger on the left, my rate of fire for follow-up shots is almost as fast as with semiauto. Just takes me some practice.

Still working out the kinks with my 22ARC 12.5” gasser and the Tna lower. But I was able to get some velocities with 3 Hornady factory ammo options.

Superformance 70gr CX
Avg 2640fps

Black 75gr eldm
Avg 2590fps

V Match 62gr eld vt
Avg 2790fps

Do you reload?

Not other than coyotes with the 223 77tmk. But out of a pile of elk, deer, bear with the 140eldm and 108eldm, we usually find the bullet in the off-side hide with a cup/core bullet like that. Even with higher impact velocities. It dumps all its energy inside the body cavity. Haven't had anything go further than 100 yards, and all but a couple dropped where they stood. But none of the shots had an impact velocity lower than 2000fps.

If you are looking for exits, then a bonded bullet probably is a better bet than what I'm using.

Its not a necessity, just a curiousity. The internal damage caused by heavy for caliber fragmenting bullets observed in the 223 thread is impressive and what i want to experiment with. Just curious how lower impact velocities correlate to exit wound likelihood.

Yes Sir

I searched the thread and could have missed it but do you have a build list?
