Over at my friends shooting range, and he's thumping steel with his 30 carbine, my other friend is wacking steel hard with 7.62x39, and my pesky 5.7x28 seemed anemic. It got me thinking I'd like me some kind of thumper. Hmm what to get???
I know what you're thinking, why not just shoot my 223?! I have and do but I prefer to use it farther out and it can be hard on some of the steel we have.
Had a 300BO, it's fine for this kind of stuff but....
Plus it's fun to try out different chamberings, right?!
Anyway, I like the 350L's non rebated rim that's the same size as 223, and that it double stacks, and in the future some Co should come out with high cap mags.
So I got on youtube and found BCA uppers for cheap, ordered a 350L 16", which hopefully will be reliable???, and for hitting steel with authority! I kinda expect some tuning will be required so here "it goes".
Ordered a CMMG 10 round 350L mag too.
I 'think' I have some crappy AR mags somewhere that I will probably modify just to experiment. May get some use out of them after all??
It'd be fun to reload some heavies like 220 grain but for now I'll just buy some of the Winchester 145gr to start out with.
Do you or anyone you know have a AR in 350L, comments and advice welcome?
