Buy it. I have two 550Bs that I have been reloading off of since 1988 and have reloaded piles of ammo. Not saying that the C model is not good. Also Dillion’ CS is second to none!
-
That is going to be a tough one. I saw that Midway had some 70 gr Nosler Varmageddon in stock and some Barnes 112gr Match Burners but that has been several days ago.
-
I have a 6mmAR and a 6mm ARC. I have use CFE223 in both because I had a pile of it and Lever was nowhere to be found. I tried a couple of loads with AR Comp but didn't get the accuracy I was expecting so just went with CFE223.
-
I have had good luck with it loading for my 4 6.5 Grendels, a 6mmAR wildcat and a .223 18" JP. In those cartridges it gives me the best speeds. I worked up one .223 load with it; 26.5 grains with a 55gr Sierra BlitzKing that shoots really well.
NOTE: this load is safe in my rifle. All standard reloading practices should be followed with others loads. Start low and work up slowly.

All in for the Razor. I have four of them. They are about as good as it gets given the price. Almost bought a Swaro yesterday but decided to just buy more Ammo.

Funny that you post about these scopes, it's the second time in two weeks that they have come up. I was asked about them not long ago and remembered hearing about them years ago. Did a little research and they are a FL company that was family owned then was bought out a couple of years ago but a tech investment firm. They claim to be made if FL. The pricing on the Rugged series is about what a Vortex PST is and the Premium is in Razor territory.
I am in no way looking for another LPVO but I just found it interesting. If you get hands on one I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

I don't think it is silly at all, not my color choice but it looks pretty bad a$$ to me!

^^^^^^^

I say cut it down, load it up and burn it to the ground!! Good luck and good shooting!

Noveske makes great barrels. I haven't used that specific one so I am not sure.
The 11.5 and 14.5 triarc barrels I ran all fired a few FPS faster, and were ~ half moa shooters, with correct sized gas ports. I built one of the 12.5 middys for a friend and it was also a great shooter, runs nicely suppressed and unsupressed with no reported issues for about a year now.
I really do love their barrels, top notch. Their proprietary rifling seems to not be snake oil, about 25fps faster out of my 11.5 than I had chrono'd before with 77gr IMI vs a ballistic advantage.
I would like to echo dkamps. My 12.5" has been chronoed faster than I would have expected; almost 14.5" velocities. I have shot PMC Bronze, M855 and a mix mash of other stuff with no issues. I have not shot any of the AE though.
I thought that the rifling thing was marketing but it seems it really is faster.

NOVESKE 12.5" CRUSADER MID-LENGTH 5.56MM STAINLESS BARREL
I have this barrel on my SBR and it flat runs. It also loves Hornady 75gr BTHP Match. I was a non-believer but a friend convinced me to give it a try and it works.

I just recently got a Nightforce NXS 1-8 and am very happy with it. The glass is incredible. I put it on a 20" Proof Research barreled 6.5 Grendel and we were hammering 12" please at 600 with no difficulty. As you may have heard the eye box is a little tight but I don't play the 3 gun game any more and for my purposes; range work and some hunting it performs admirably. It was not cheap but none of the good stuff is.

Acronym for Compact Semi-Auto Sniper System. It is a US Army program that came out of the AARs from AFG and IRQ for the need for a shorter compact sniper rifle. KAC had produced such a rifle for certain SOF units for some time.

I had read a good bit on the Net about these barrels, then stopped by their booth at SHOT; talked to Nathan and Patrick(great guys), that settled it I had to have one.
I bought one of the 18" Gunner barrels to replace a 18" JP that the throat was gone in and have been quite pleased with it. I mounted a L&S MK4 4.5X14 on it. When I first got it I shot groups at 100 with MK262, factory Hornady 75gr BTHP( both shot about an 1") and my handholds with Hornady 75gr BTHP(just under an inch). I then let it completely cool, shot a 5 round group with my handloads(just under an inch), shot a 30 round field course, then another 5 round group. Second group opened up to about 1.25" and had a shift of about .6" to the 6 o'clock.
I don't shoot 3 gun anymore but think that this barrel would do just fine. I love the way the gun handles with the barrel and the price was good. I am looking at there 18" heavy fluted to build another upper for shooting varmints around the farm.
YMMV but I am happy with what I got from them.

As a great Southern philosopher once stated "Well there you go." I have learned a new word and expanded my vocabulary. Chubchiks for all my friends!

Ok and I thought that I was the only one lost on the chubchik thing.........
-
Build it!!!! You always need another rifle!!
-
Check out the Durham Rifle and Pistol Club. that run lots of matches and are really weird into the local competition scene.
-
Lots of good advice here. Swapping out the upper is pretty easy and requires a few tools. Receiver block or a Geissele reaction rod, barrel nut wrench and some punches. I'll bet that there is a video of how to do online somewhere in Youtube.
Flat top is the way to go; so much more versatile. Good Luck.

+1 for AR Performance! H makes awesome barrels!
