    AE AR223 fps

    Hey folks!

    Long shot (ba-dum-dish!) but has anyone run the American Eagle AR223 50g ammo over a chrony out of a 20in barrelled AR15?
    Making a nice little drop chart and the more accurate I can be, the happier I'll be. Yes, slightly OCD (CDO for the REALLY OCD people)

    It SAYS 3350fps, but we know how things get hyped

    get a good zero then shoot at range and adjust velocity until drop matches data.

    This stuff makes tiny little groups @ 100 out of my WW AR15 w/ 20in barrel 1:8 twist
    No feeding or firing issues at all.

    It groups very well in my 223.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!
