  NOTE: At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Re2mAz37E&amp;t=119">1:59</a> I say that the cases are Zinc plated. This is incorrect, it&apos;s nickel plated. Purely a mis-speak.

  This makes power factor for nrl hunter and PRSuit matches quite a bit more interesting.

  But what does it due to the throat of the rifling eats it away twice as fast

  I like the point about also developing projectiles specifically for high pressure cases/ammo

  This is amazing for young shooters. To get your first low recoil deer rifle that only an ammo change can give you same basic ballistics as a 270. <br><br>You’ll never need another rifle.

  Love the quality of production man. Even the little details like tying the bow on the suppressor cover are top notch &lt;3

  I think this changes the very nature of the 6.5 creed cartridge. I got rid of one because it just didn&apos;t reach the velocity threshold I like for a hunting cartridge, except with the 100gr ttsx. Federal is advertising 3100fps for a 127gr lrx with these cases. That&apos;s equal to or perhaps a bit ahead of the 6.5prc, while still retaining the ability to shoot milder brass case ammo for target loads. I have a Tikka at present with a 6.5 creed barrel on it I basically bought for the action to convert to a 6mm or 22 creed. I&apos;m definitely going to give that 127gr lrx +peak load a chance this deer season before I make a decision now.

  Most Americans think &quot;bigger/faster/more&quot; is always better, and it may be, but SAMMI and firearm manufacturers need to get on board

  The past has been harsh to proprietary gadgets in the fire arm business!! I hope the average common rifleman can utilize this tech without taking a mortgage out on his home!!!

  Got to see some of this in action recently. What I was told: Is &quot;reloadable&quot; but will destroy your mandrel inside 100 rounds and they were having some difficulties setting consistent case length/shoulder bump. They were kind of just shooting for few thousandths window, but it was a definite consideration. Barrel life is completely up in the air. The Terminal Ascent didn&apos;t group well. Maybe 2 MOA on a good day. (per them) They were handloading, I think Bergers on top of Varget, to past 3k. (Compressed loads) They&apos;re stuff was, f-ing, impressive.... like WOW! &nbsp;They also said, infinitely better than the NAS3 case design.

  I&apos;d imagine 556 is already in production for the army. 556 does it&apos;s magic due to its speed, but more military operators are using shorter barrels. Keeping the performance of an 18ish inch barrel on a 12.5 gas gun with a can on it is a game changer for the military. It&apos;ll mitigate hearing loss (and hearing loss based disability payouts after soliders leave active service), increase manueverability, decrease in weight. Only a matter of time before production works up to the civilian market.
