I suspect you and your friend will be pleasantly surprised. If you end up with a different experience when the rifle length buffer and tube is on there, I'll be the surprised one. I look forward to reading more.

The only way to know is to document the rifle as it came from the DPMS factory and then replicate after the Billy-bob job.<br /><br />The intention is not to run the low power ammo as a steady diet. The intention is to find out where the current system coughs up a hairball.<br /><br />Some of my thinking is explained here: http://eatonrapidsjoe.blogspot.com/2013/08/robust-processes.htmlEaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-21669083996393638902018-12-19T16:06:10.866-05:002018-12-19T16:06:10.866-05:00I have to say, I agree with Mr. Brewi.

People often do this type of testing with the Garand to reduce recoil to acceptable levels for kids, wives, etc. Are you just trying to find the lower powder limit so you don't accidentally load a bunch of rounds that aren't going to cycle?Third Coasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164034977282528857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-76565528099345958292018-12-19T15:39:55.561-05:002018-12-19T15:39:55.561-05:00This may be a dumb question but why are you downlo...This may be a dumb question but why are you downloading this round. I don't see the cost of powder and recoil as a reason. Lower velocity will affect down range performance including bullet expansion. So why?Howard Brewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828388973685184730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-46484951416346665052018-12-19T15:36:01.281-05:002018-12-19T15:36:01.281-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Howard Brewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828388973685184730noreply@blogger.com
