The rules are that whatever round you shoot has to be based on 223/556 parent. I’m not doing a bolt gun, so the idea is to get as many FPS as possible out of a 70gr RDF from a 24” barrel. Also, I’m a tinkerer and don’t mind the slight complications involved with the AI.


I get that and I'm not trying to be argumentative about it. I'm just asking what gains you hope to see.

I don't know what RDF stands for.

Understand. I wouldn’t be fooling with the 223 AI except for the match rules. 280 AI on the other hand is very interesting to me. RDF is a Nosler HPBT target bullet. I’d like to run heavier but will have to see where the lands end up when the barrel arrives around the 15th.
