[QUOTE="Wingnut00, post: 2460801, member: 110199"] Quite a few years ago I had a good friend that was highway patrol. He asked me to work up a load for his personal AR-10 to use on patrol if needed. I said no way in hell because if he ever had to use that rifle on duty the ammunition would have my name all over it. So….he went straight to one of his higher ups and questioned him. He got it ok’d through the high ups as long as the projectile was a “military” type of bullet and so we agreed on the 175 matchking simply because the military uses that bullet. Obviously he had to qualify with that rifle before he could carry it on duty. That fricken 16” 308 would put 5 rounds in 1-1/2” at three hundred yards! He qualified and his superiors approved him using my ammo. I member they needed muzzle velocities and approximate impact energy at 100 yards. I was very proud to be making ammo for him that would potentially save his or somebody else’s life but always hoped he would never have to use it. He never did and has since retired from the highway patrol. [/QUOTE]
