I am really starting to like this upper. Every time I shoot it a smile comes across my face. Not only does it look good it will flat out shoot. When looking at the speeds remember this is an 18" barrel. I am sure going to a 22" barrel will have considerable gains. These are also starting loads and just starting load development. These loads were safe in my rifle, but may not be safe in yours. Start 10% lower and work your way up.  After doing some research and a little math I came up with my first load of the day. I had only loaded 4 rounds. Didn't want to load more until I had tried the first load. From the looks of this group, this needs to be investigated further.  Carl ask me to try some 100 grain bullets. So this group is for you Carl. ;D It will definitely go faster. We had to start somewhere.  The last loads I tried were with Benchmark. They started to come together as the speeds came up. Again, we will revisit this. The potential is there. It just needs to be fine tuned.   |

Guys all over the net are getting wound up over this one. Lots of interest being voiced. This one is going to be stellar.

What dies are you using to load for this? Redding 6.8SPC full length bushing die, and two bushings, a .285 and a .268. basically stepping down to 6.5mm with the .285 bushing, then down to 6mm with the .268 bushing. |

Hello:
As for the group buy on this cartridge
Here is what we are working on
1. Ritch Johnson would build complete uppers using our barrels and parts from New Frontier Armory
2. Tactical ammunition will supply some commercially loaded ammunition with the upper
The group buy would consist of both the upper in an 18" or 20" barrel and ammunition
Let us know what you think

I have questions regarding the reliability of this round. I did have some issues with my old Grendel rifle feeding properly and I assume the shape this particular cartridge (it not being so short and fat) would help when feeding from a magazine, right?...any one? Bueller?  I am highly excited about this cartridge. I want to know everything. |

Bueller? I am highly excited about this cartridge. I want to know everything. In testing this cartridge, I have yet to have any problems. It feeds like a 5.56. In fact I have yet to have any failures what so ever. This is one of the most straight forward wildcats you can own. |

Just a pic of some dummies I loaded up with some Remington PSP's. Cannelure makes 'em look weird but I am excited about this one.  These are exactly 2.230 and fit in my cheap ASC mags. They look like they will feed like greased lightning. Greg |

Love this sweet cartridge!
Group upper buy is fine but I'd prefer to roll my own. I'm thinking a 22-24 inch barrel.
In a 20, I'd like to hear more about the components selected by New Frontier Armory and proposed price.
