The mail man delivered a package from RPG custom Uppers this morning ( Ritch Johnson) A fellow prostaffer.. Inside the package was a beautifully put together 20 LBC.. I headed straight for the reloading room to get some rounds loaded. Then off to the range. I installed an Eo Tech on it for the time being. I bore sighted the upper in and went to shooting what a fun gun!! I was shooting 40 gr. Hornady V Max bullets powered by 135 powder. This is the 1st and only load I have tried in it. I just got it LOL.. We will be working on several loads in the very near future.. Here are the results. Pictures say 1000 words so here they are.. BHW has a winner here!! This is the AR..    This is the 1st 7 shots ever fired out uf the upper. This group was fired @ 50 yards.  The velocity. We can get this up from here, this is the starting load..  |

I'm gald someone gets to shoot theirs!! I'm having a Come To Jesus meeting today with the guy that ordered my dies then I will order a set from another supplier later! That velocity on the starting load is not to shabby. Anything at 3800 + is devastating with my 39's and I do believe this can be shaded easily once the powder choice is worked out. I do believe the adjustable gas block will be a major factor in this round. Great shooting. Greg PS: Just ordered some dies from Mid South. Now the wait for the BWT starts!!  |

Greg, I hope your dies get here quick, So you can get out shooting yours, Im sure this is torture on you.
I hit 3700 FPS last night with the 135 and there is still room to go. Not to shabby out of a 20 inch BBL..
Right now we are in the middle of the 204 velocities pushing the 40 grain V Max. Im sure the hitting 3800 FPS wont be a problem with other powders, the 135 is just shooting so well out of mine, I hate to change over and start testing other Powders LOL..

All you other Pro guys can afford that expensive powder stuff. I have to make do with the domestic stuff.  I'm pouring over the data fro the 20 PPC and the Grendel and looking for trends. I THINK I see some stuff that will work that I happen to have on the shelf. The Accurate Powders will be my first test go juice. I agree the 20" tube will be giving us a bit less than we would like but I can't figure out how to make it longer. My 204's and 20 Tacticals are shooting the 39's at around 3800 + so I have no doubt we will get that. Someone with a 24" (HINT HINT) will smoke 'em down the line. I figure dies will be here mid-week and I'll be hitting the range for my first few rounds quickly after that. Any break in procedure you like? Greg |

NEWS FLASH!!! The BWT just left and I have dies!! The ammo making starts in the AM. I have a few powders to try and am going to enjoy this. Time to clean the barrel and mount up a scope. I'm going to shoot five rounds on the first range trip so I have some cases to measure and get an idea if my powder choices are good. More later. Woo Hoo!! ;D Greg |
