Billing it as 3k fps with 77 grain bullet

Barrel http://www.midwayusa.com/product/501574/...sler-_-20170117

Color me impressed.

Performance wise, it is getting an AR-15 platform to narrowing the gap to .22-250. This really is a great improvement over the .223.

Only down side is going to be brass price. .223 brass is dirt cheap, this brass will be significantly more expensive.

(His follow-through, on the trigger was absent)

I am going to be interested to see bullet length issues.


I can't find the length of the new eld match 72 or 77 grain. But that would be something.


Was thinking about making a 6.5 Grendel but may go this route

Still think the Grendel is a higher performing round. But, if ya like velocity, this one is hard to beat.

Are they saying you can only get a 55 grain ballistic tip to appx. 2600 fps in a 223? I have Nosler loading manual that says that's not even starting loads for a 223. Am I missing something or are they just trying to make it look better than it is?

Well, you know how Nosler tends to bend the truth...

Yeah I had to look that up on Hodgdon. I was thinking my 55 Gamekings were about 3100 and I'm on the low end. Looks like some number fudging for sure. I still want one though.

HAHA

Looking on nosler's online data it lists a max load of benchmark with a 55 grain at 3540 fps and the fastest load with the 22 nosler is 3518

I'm betting its going to be a flop.

I'm glad you took the time to dig.

I retract my original statement.

here is what i dont understand....

First if i get a hod rod i am going to run it. So i am going to look at the 77 grain data

according to hodgon data, the 223 the 77 grain bullet maxes at 2811 fps out of a 24in barrel
according to noslers data, the 22 nosler maxes out at 2981 fps out of a 24in barrel
according to the nosler blog


so either there load data is mild or they are running their ammo hard
also that means its a 150fps drop for 6in of barrel

if i was a betting man i would say it is selectively interpretation of baseline. I think they pulled 223 low pressure data not 5.56/223 data

their posted 223 data is mild to say the least

Their

This looks to be the same case capacity as the 22/6.8SPC which has been around for several years in a couple of different designs.
Mine has the same 30 degree shoulder as the 22Nosler so I would expect the two to be identical ballisticly.
You can run a 75 gr AMax about 3050-3080fps with a 22inch barrel which is about 200fps or more faster than a 223.
I ran 50gr at 3500+ from the same 22 inch barrel

Just my opinion after owning both a 1/12 twist and a 1/8 get the fast twist run heavier high BC bullets and you have something you can't do as well as a 223 unless you single load and even then you will give up some performance

This guys is building them but they ain't cheap.
