For some reason I am not getting email notice on this thread for replies.
Ok, so if you got round holes at 1-8.75, I should get round holes at a 1-9. Now to push up to 1,100 fps. Damn it has been hot here 99 degrees at 90-100% with no wind. Makes you want to wait on this till fall.
Luckily I have three buffer weights and several springs. So if I get a load up to 1,100 and it is just short of function, I will just loose a little buffer weight and it should work OK, otherwise we start removing coils.
My can should be in in two weeks. Then we wait for the paperwork to be done.
By the by, I am working fast and slow at the same time plus Hornady and Winchester. Right now with a 16 I am at 2,600 fps with the Sierra 120 HP BT MK and .6 inches at 100. I am running a recut throat and setting the bullets at 80 not 60. Look at your mag and the follower's function carefully, the center is never touched, so the OAL to mag length is taken at the sides not center. This is important for the 160gr and capacity if you need it.
Piggies have gone for now but they will be back.
