Thread: Changer after chopped barrel

The 40.5g I’m using is above the Hornady book max of 39.0 but there seems to be a consensus that Hornady is very conservative. Also searching the forum is seems quite a few others have loaded up to 40. With no trouble.

A few threads for reference:

@DPT yep,checked the bushing and it was all good. I swap this suppressor with another rifle and thought I may have had them mixed up but nah. Shooting all good now though with the 150g so all sorted, thanks

Yep my mistake
You’ll be fine with the 150 and that charge no doubt
