Or, load up some of the new nickel/steel cases and get more speed than the AI!Would there be a possibility of getting a 223AI?? If the price was this good, I wouldn't pass one up.
The problem with that is an AI should ideally be set back to a tight headspace, which gets into pulling the barrel extension, etc.I'm betting that it'll take a full 25 for an order, but I think you could easily have a Smith ream one for you out of the wylde barrel
Yeah, that makes several reasons to avoid it when you can load to those speeds easily with shell shock cases. They're actually pretty cheap per case, but it's a large quantity.The problem with that is an AI should ideally be set back to a tight headspace, which gets into pulling the barrel extension, etc.
Can you buy those as empty cases for reloading? I'd be interested in testing those in 223 and 300 BO. Their BO loads are not much if any faster than my handloads, but I could probably up my loads with them.Yeah, that makes several reasons to avoid it when you can load to those speeds easily with shell shock cases.

I'll quit my derailing now!!
I think for the sake of getting 25 (enough for an order) we'll have to stick with the typical AR 16" barrel specs. I think we'll be lucky to get that many as is.I'd be interested in a 223wylde and 6x45 in shorter lengths: 8, 10, 12 inch if possible (prefer 10 or 12). With the same profile as the BCA barrel, with a 1:7 twist.
Also, a muzzle flared out with 5/8x24 threads.
I will ask about all the variations. And, length is one of them.As a lot of us might already have a 16 inch shaw portless barrel of similar specs and dimension, i'd be interested in a 223wylde and 6x45 in shorter lengths: 8, 10, 12 inch if possible (prefer 10 or 12). With the same profile as the BCA barrel, with a 1:7 twist.
Also, a muzzle flared out with 5/8x24 threads so we don't have to add the extra weight of the 5/8/24 adapter to run a can.
I'm in for SBR barrel over rifle length. 5/8x24 is preferable, but not a dealbreaker.I will ask about all the variations. And, length is one of them.
Personally, I want a 10 or 12” for my SBR lower. 5/8 x 24 makes a lot of sense.
