I picked up a barrel from Mad Dog weapon systems and tried a few loads.

My Rifle is on an AR15 platform. 22" barrel.
I went with the 130 Speer Boattail because it is supposed to be a soft bullet that I am hoping will be appropriate for deer hunting considering the modest velocity.

I tried a couple different powders but the one that stood out from the rest was AR-COMP.

130 speer boat tail MDWS GPC Starline brass, CCI 450, Seated at 2.295"

Alliant AR-COMP

29 ---- 2611
29.4---- 2644
29.7---- 2677
30 ---- 2691, 2716

These work in my rifle, please use proper load techniques in your rifle.

------

Yesterday at the range I shot some at 100 Yards.

The groups were pretty good and especially good considering the shooter.

Three of the 30 grain loads were 2675, 2688, 2678.

Thats some mighty fine shooting there.

If anyone was wondering, the 27 GPC is a 6.8 SPC improved of sorts.

6.8 SPC ammo can be fired in this chamber and the fire formed brass adds a couple grains capacity over the 6.8 SPC. New brass is available as are dies.

I think this is a useful cartridge that is not known well enough. Anyone that reloads can easily be up and running with this round.
