I live in a state with magazine limits so figure if I can't have capacity I might as well have more horsepower. If mag limits in CA go away I can then go with green tips for a small frame or the heavier stuff I hope to build just in case it is called for.
Ah ok, didn't know you were a fellow resident of Hell, I mean Kali
The weather is nice and my aging parents are here so I'm stuck behind enemy lines for the foreseeable future.
Still deciding on what to buy. I figure I need to buy at least two different projectiles just in case the first wont shoot in my gun.
The AR10 ammo I am looking to make is intended for dangerous game of the two legged variety. I pray that it never comes to this but if it does I want to be ready. I want a projectile that is tougher than an ELDM or TMK if I have to shoot through auto glass or something similar. I am thinking along the lines of a bonded bullet, a partition, or maybe a copper mono and want to be sure I am not missing something as this is about as far can be from my area of competence.
I figured to use a large frame as I am limited to 10 round mags in CA. Do you think that a 6.5 Grendel or 6 ARC would be a better choice than a 6.5 CM large frame in my situation?
Those are all good but for barrier penetration then we can head back to solid copper and the Barnes bullets are very accurate and will get the job done.
If the SHTF, why worry about mag limits??? Moot point if it comes to that.
I want to be ready before the SHTF and obtaining those mags today comes with legal risks that I'm not willing to take. But you are probably right, the best bet is to probably sell the large frame, source a bunch of metal or pre-freedom week 30 round mags and a bunch of green tips and focus on other things.
Or drive to a free state ( if you drive to the state next to me you can look at Z Idaho...lots of fun toys)
If I were you I wouldn't compromise myself with unconstitutional laws, criminals don't give a shit one way or the other.
My thoughts exactly....no one needs to know your business and as f'ed up as California is they don't have the manpower to follow everyone...they are too busy with Newsoms homeless crisis and hate speech....but it admirable that you want to stay on the straight and narrow but like the man just said, you do what you gotta for your family especially when their laws are unconstitutional...
If it’s “civil unrest” and you’re depending on an AR platform, I’d hope you’d say fuck capacity limits
I want to add if your aim is shtf, may I suggest that you go with a .308.
They make 225 Sub-X you can easily size down to .308 from .310ish with Lee sizer. Just fyi.
If it gets to that point I don't, but I'm trying to stay legal prior to that because nothing gives Democrats more pleasure than fucking over normal gun owners. They stay away from criminals because those knuckleheads might actually shoot back...If it’s “civil unrest” and you’re depending on an AR platform, I’d hope you’d say fuck capacity limits
Well..... maybe consider a lever action or better yet a M1 Garand.
I have never experienced this. I believe the bands cut in the bullet take care of any issues.
Possible issue with a barrel that has a rough fire cracked throat but would be equally rough if not worse on cup and core bullets.
