Trick as said is proper fit, correct alloy, reasonable velocity and proper twist. I have great luck shooting heavier cast gas check projectiles through my 1:12 twist 5.56 barrels. I suggest if really...

In addition to testing it with a variety of factory loaded 147/150 grain M80 jacketed loads would buy a couple different boxes of 168 grain match loads. Many M1a's will be finicky about magazines so...

Quiet to me is any round that can shoot without hearing protection and not make my ears ring. My Hornets and K Hornets are less obtrusive than a full power 5.56/223 with a suppressor. Have you tried...
