    Is this too much pressure? ;)

    Here's some Aquila 150 gr .308 ball ammo fired through Pappabears LMT MWS. Popping 4 stake primers like popcorn.

    Holy crap, that would’ve been disturbing.

    Did you chrono any?

    Why would you ever consider using that in the first place? Particularly you guys.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    Did you tear any down to see how the charge looked/weighed?

    I was popping primers on some hot 308, I turned down my gas and all was good. I guess it is somewhat command for overpasses guns (not that lmt is) to do this because the bolt unlocks too early.

    I’d be real curious to see how those loaded rounds looked in a case gauge, curious if the headspace was off or the neck length was too long.

    I bought a bunch of crap 308 years ago, it was 200 degrees and we were bored. I said, lets dump this box of crap. Got very lucky no primers got stuck. No chrono for this trash. It actually shot ok, for pure garbage, speaks to be infamous MWS.

    Perfectly good pressure...you're not looking at the labor saving benefits...ammo that is self di-capping. What a boon to reloading!

    No. I didn't notice until we'd shot the whole box.
