Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 358 Herrett AR - 35 Rem in the AR15

Here are a couple more shots of the magazines, showing why the rib cutouts are necessary. Same goes for a straight wall 35 cal, unless it's short enough so the bullet ogive contacts the rib at the .250" diameter point like supersonic 300 Blk.






Also shown here is a .30 cal AR15 wildcat I made up using a spare Ruger 30/06 barrel - it's similar to the 358 Herrett in that this one uses 30 Herrett dies and the SPC case. In a 20" barrel it pushes the 125 NBT to 2725 fps, and various 150gr SP bullets to 2475 fps. The rounds in this pic are loaded with the 130gr Mk319 SOST bullet to 2700 fps.
