    45 cal AR15

    Only the 450 Bushmaster has been submitted to SAAMI. Add the benefit of both Hornady and Remington producing ammo for 450 Bushmaster and the question really becomes do you want the round with greater backing or a niche or proprietary cartridge?

    db, If you have a 6.5mm Contender blank, call SG&Y at 817-430-0597 and speak to Speedy G. You can also get with Jim Brockman at Brockman rifles. Brass is small rifle primer. Why? Because it is based on the PPC and the small rifle primer, small flash hole combindation is one of the design...

    Patenting a cartridge dimensions?

    A .357 Magnum can use 38 Special ammo, but thats because the .357 Mag is a long case version of the .38 Special. However, if a manufacturer makes a product and represents it to be identical to the 6.5 Grendel and that is can use 6.5 Grendel factory ammo (6.5 Grendel Compatible), the...

    Da..it, Don't shortchange me! 6.5 Grendel vs. 6.8 SPC

    Thanks Zak, it helps me understand how you measure velocity... Reading your data, your best velocity with a handload and the 110 VMAX is 2635 fps from an 18 inch barrel. Would you happen to have the interior width of the case at the base of the powder column?

    Da..it, Don't shortchange me! 6.5 Grendel vs. 6.8 SPC

    Sumpnz, The 6.5 Grendel, like the 6 PPC and 22 PPC are not high intensity overbore cartridges. As a rule of thumb, 25 fps is a good approximate, but that is not always correct. TX65
