95's and 105's is what I had in mind. That's pretty salty out of an AR-15! Agreed!! Any idea if you'll offer as a complete upper in the near future?

I think dstroud had a a 6.8 necked down to 22 but it had a different name. AR15 Performance has been making one like this for a while, called a 5.56x42. Wildcat based on the 6.8 brass, apx 200fps faster than a 5.56. 75-80gr bullets run 3000-3100 out of a 20" barrel. Yeah I was looking at their stuff again today. Forgot how many cool wildcats they have. Have their TAC 6 on the way. 6mm in a 6.8 case That would be a great kids deer gun. Collapsible stock, no recoil, 95 SST, 4-12 VXR illuminated Firedot, perfect.

A bullet that long and heavy in a .22 is pretty interesting. What kind of BC’s do those things have?

Not bad. Sounds like a pretty neat round in an AR.

The 25DTI sounds good, are there any barrels available? Yes he chambers only Shilen Select Match barrels or just the completed upper which is what most folks get.

So many choices for a new build! If I can find my old 30 Herrett dies I may build an upper for deer and hogs out to 300 next. I need to go shoot some of the uppers I built before, haven't messed with this stuff for a couple years. While cleaning up the gun bench looking for the Herrett dies I realized that I have 30 WSSM, 338 Spectre and 6mmx45 uppers to shoot

It’s looking like a Little Monster for moderate to long range paper punching and perhaps competition but i wouldn’t hunt pigs with 90 grain Fusion ...

What's your reason? I've killed many pigs with the 62 grain Fusion.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
