[QUOTE="brant89, post: 1724338, member: 49553"] I’ve been looking up some of these 77gr loads as well for a comparison, but 5.56 isn’t 223 so I doubt I’ll get the quoted 150-200fps gain over the higher pressure round. However it does look like 20 should definitely get me into the 2800’s and 18” might. I also found an article where they cut the barrel on a 5.56 and lost about 100fps going from 22” to 18” (they started at 26”). That would suggest (based off J E Customs 22”) that I could get as high as 2900fps out of an 18”. I think you hit the nail on the head with it being a crap shoot. I guess I’ll just try it and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
