My .45 Raptor AR10 barrel was delivered today.
« on: January 19, 2018, 03:34:58 PM »

230gr Sierra FMJ 2600 FPS
240gr Hornady XTP MAG 2600 FPS
250gr Hornady FTX 2500 FPS
300gr Hornady XTP 2300 FPS



Satern stainless 16" , 1-20 Twist .45 Raptor AR10 barrel.

I use Hornady walnut media and Wright's liquid brass polish. I just pour a little in on the media each time I do a batch of brass.
