This is a $50. barrel blank done up by Mike of MBM-OTT. These are fire forming loads. 6 shots at 100yds just above the bull. Think i'm happy? [IMG][url= http://"http://www.hunt101.com/?p=49492&c=500&z=1"] [/url][/IMG]

Jules you will like the 223AI. Its a great little round. I was getting 3900 plus with 40 bullets, 3750 with 45 gr and 3600 plus with 52 gr bullets on the last 223AI I had. None of the loads were even close on pressure signs in the rifle I was using. With the almost straight side case neck sizing was all I had to do and didn't worry about trimming. I was using N-133 powder but there are lots of good powders for it. Saw the vapor trails and have a question. Were you using Sierra Blitzs or Hornday SX bullets? Tommy

I like it already with just the fire forming load. I was using Sierra Blitz.

That 1" Step barrel is too cool!! Shooting it offhand at 100 yards was almost too easy.

So is that the smoke trail gun? Nice looking carbine you got there.

Jules, are you at liberty to tell us how much OTT chargers for the rechamber job and adding the lug?

Sorry Tony,
I really don't know what Mike's fee is for his work. You can send him an email and he'll let you know. Both my barrels are new and not rechambers.
