Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
BH stuff not safe for AR's? 99% of the people I know who shoot factory ammo, shoot BH's in their ARs.

Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
Whoever told you that BH ammo is unsafe in an AR is sadly mistaken or works for Federal!
Seriously, all flavors of BH .223/5.56 ammo, particularly their 77gr SMK Mk262 loads, runs like a scalded dog in all of my ARs. Never a single ammo-related issue in any of nearly a dozen ARs I have used BH ammo in. Same with the BH 308/7.62 ammo in my AR-10 and POF P-308 rifles! Same holds true for the Corbon offerings.
While I can't speak directly to the .260 Rem ammo from BH or Corbon, I cannot imagine that it would have any problems functioning properly in an AR-10/LR-308 platform rifle and offer excellent accuracy.

The BH that I'm talking about is that 260 ammo that GAP had made. I believe George said it was too hot to be semi auto safe. I could be mistaken though.

Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
I have a stash of the gap 260 black hills. I havent chrono'ed yet but I can assure you it is on the ragged edge of too hot in my GAP bolt gun. I dont think I would put it in an ar10 type platform. It flattens primers and shows faint extractor marks in my gun. Shoots phenomenal though. I watch it pretty close down here in SE NM in the summer time. No 115 degree shooting days for me with that ammo.

Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
the BH 260 ammo will operate fine in an AR, the problem is it's not accurate from an AR. I went through a case of it and it was 1" at best. I wouldn't shoot it in an AR again. Now a bolt gun, that's a different story.

42gn H4350, 210M, RP brass, 139gn Scenar. Yes, it's a little hot and yes, I get maybe three loadings, but it's fast and accurate.

Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
I'm going to be building a 260 AR soon so was wondering. I like to test with factory match ammo so I know what to expect from it accuracy wise.
I'll have the GAP chambered Bartlein this weekend.
So, what do you guys think about a 20" barrel being most of you have 22's?
Also, does anyone wanna post pics? Mike? fastford?

Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
If you go to GAP's website and keep refreshing you'll see two different pics of the rifle. One will say "Just like dentists" and will have a bald guy shooting an AR, and the other will say "Balance" of the same guy prone, pointing at the camera. Those are a picture of this rifle with the 308 upper. With the exception of the muzzle break the 260 and the 308 uppers are absolutely identical.

Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
Must be they took the "dentist" one down all I find is the "balance" one. Nice stick. I'm going the same direction but might cut the barrel back to 20" and put a QD muzzle break on it. The barrel is a 24 now.

Re: Corbon ammo AR safe?
"Dentist" is still there, you've just got to keep refreshing. I just saw it right before I made my last post. Keep refreshing.
