I shot a couple hundred of the NOE 247 with a GC in my 10.5" Ar. Everything ran fine but the bolt carrier was full of lead at the bottom of the hole, where the bolt is inserted. It appears the gas...

For secret warfare, it's reported a bunch was made without a headstamp.
These are what I have developed in a 7" barrel that stays subsonic with the NOE 135gr. This bullet is a good one as far as accuracy at extended ranges. I really like how easy it is to cast with...

If they make something (powder) that you love, better stock up on it before it's discontinued.
