Does not have to happen exactly.
But how close?
We know we can come around 2700 FPS or so with 77 grain .224 bullet.
We know we can do around 2200 FPS with about 125 grain 7.62.
Some guys are doing .264 bullets in the 100 grain range about 2400 FPS.
I want a heavier, bigger bullet than the first and more velocity than the second.
We know we can come around 2500 FPS or so with a 90 grain 7.62.
What is the maximal we can do with the 5.56 parent case?
It’s going to be under 30 grains of powder. A 90 grain .264 bullet at about 2600 FPS?
Does that offer an advantage over any 5.56 loading?
Can you update 100s of thousands of rifles to it with just a new barrel?
If you can’t grt it to work with AR mags as is, can you replace just the follower?
Will another mm of diameter 5.56 case five enough additional powder capacity?will those work in AR mags?
If not will they work with a follower?
Just wondering what the hard limit is for the standard AR rifle and mag.
At least until brass is replaced by a solid shaped like a 5.56 case hard powder with a primer in one end and hole in the other to seat the bullet.
